BRIEF HISTORY
Established in the year 1817 for accommodation of military troops. Fresh
troops, regiments, batallions including cavalry settled in Pune. In 1819,
the limits of Pune Cantonment were fixed. With lapse of time, large number
of civilians had come to reside in Cantonments. They were in fact encouraged
to do so in order to provide amenities to Officers, soldiers and retainers
of the Army / Military Stations. Besides, accommodation was needed for
Military Officers, and the Civilians invested their Capital in building
Bungalows and Houses. In 1822, the area further expanded to include other
areas. The boundaries of Pune Cantonment were finally settled in the year
1827. The policy of the Military authorities was to preserve the Cantonment
Area purely for the residence of their Officers and Camp followers.
