Howrah History
Howrah is believed to have derived its name from an ancient city called Harirah. Ceasare Federici described a place called Bator which somewhat resembles the modern day Howrah. When Emperor Farrukshiyar accessed the throne of Delhi, the villages of, Harirah, Cassundeah, Ramkrishnopoor and Battar to the west of river Bhagirathi were given to the British East India Company. This allowed direct to the sea for trade. This led to the modernization of Howrah city. In 1854, the Howrah Railway Terminus was set up. In 1862, the functioning of the first Municipal Corporation started even though the Corporation came into force in 1980.
