It was created in 1924 by constructing a dam across the stream that came down from the hills in the northern part of Chittagong. The purpose of creating an artificial lake was to provide water to the residents of railway colony. It was named after Mr Foy who was a Railway engineer and believed to materialize the project. Pahartali was basically a railway town with workshop, yard and shed. A good number of railway employees live there. Presently, a carriage workshop, diesel workshop, loco shed, laboratory, stores, electric workshop, school (established in 1924) are located. The area belongs to Railway. However, an amusement park, managed by the Concord group, is located here.[1] GalleryReferences{{Commons category|Foy's Lake}}1. ^{{cite web |url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Foy%E2%80%99s_Lake |title=Foy's Lake |accessdate=15 November 2016 |author=Sifatul Quader Chowdhury |editor=Sirajul Islam and Ahmed A.
