The town used to have a significant Anglo-Indian community at one time but this has declined considerably. HistoryIt was founded by the Colonisation Society of India in 1933 as a homeland or "Mooluk" for Anglo-Indians. Anglo-Indian PlacesToday, most of the old mansions have been converted to guest houses for tourists. Duga dugi River and Jagriti Vihar are some of the places to visit. A unique cluster of a temple, a mosque and a gurudwara draws visitors from far off places. There is also a Don Bosco Academy in the town. A documentary was made about the town's community in 1993. McCluskie was a property dealer based in Calcutta. He used to visit some villages in the area for hunting, and even built a hutment at a place called Harhu. His friend PP Sahib worked as the manager of Ratu Shahansha's estate and it was he who convinced the Shahansha to lease out the land to McCluskie. Subsequently, in 1933, the Colonisation Society of India Limited was formed and the Shahnsha signed an agreement with it. It was decided that the Anglo-Indians could build their settlement in nine villages on land not occupied by the original rahiyats (tenants) of those villages. It was also agreed that the settlers would not be allowed to acquire the rivers and the hills. In popular cultureThe town was the inspiration for the Hindi novel Maikluskiganj ({{lang|hi|मैकलुस्कीगंज}}) by journalist-writer Vikas Kumar Jha, which was translated into English by Mahasweta Ghosh in 2005.[5] McCluskieganj is also the setting for the 2016 film A Death in the Gunj, which is Konkona Sen Sharma's directorial debut, and set in 1979.[6] AttractionsMcCluskeiganj Gurudwara and Temple: lying in the same complex is a place of integrity and shows brotherhood of India.McCluskeiganj Mosque: It is just besides the Gurudwara and Temple complex.
