China: Canton (Guangzhou) looking south towards Honam Island across the rooftops of some of the Thirteen Factories (Saap Sam Hong), c. 1840 at the time of the First Opium War.

Factory was the English term for the trading posts system originally established by Europeans in foreign territories, first within different states of medieval Europe, and later in their colonial possessions. Factories served simultaneously as market, warehouse, customs, defense and support to the navigation or exploration, headquarters or de facto government of local communities, with the head of the factory being called a factor.
