It is one of the first planned residential areas in modern-day India. The township was planned and built to accommodate the increasing population of the city of Kolar Gold Fields. The town hall popularly known as King George Hall is lavishly built in Victorian style with an impressive lawn and garden in front of it. Robertsonpet is a township located at the Kolar Gold Fields, India, established in 1902 and named after Sir Donald Robertson the British Resident of the Princely state of Mysore. It is considered to be one of the premier well planned townships in Modern India.[1] HistoryIn the late 19th and early 20th century, the mining industry expanded under the John Taylor and Sons Company. In its peak period, it employed 4500 employees, and the waste rocky terrain was developed into a township.[1] The township was first established in 1901 as New Town, to house the population working in the KGF Mines. On 15 August 1903, the township was renamed as Robertsonpet.[2] The Town got its name at the insistence of the Maharaja of Mysore, who named after Sir Donald Robertson the British Resident of Mysore. As the township grew, several tradesmen such as bakers, confectioners, jewellers, pawn brokers, barbers, timber merchants, tailors, etc. migrated and set up shop in Roberstsonpet.[1] A town hall (similar to the town halls in country Australia) was built in the Victorian architecture with arches, canopies and large garderns, and was named as the King George Hall. The KGF Club in Oorgaum and the King George Hall Cosmopolitan Club were established providing faculties for badminton, tennis, cards, carom, snooker, etc.[1][3] Sir Donald RobertsonSir Donald Robertson is credited with started the hydro-electric plant at Shivanasamudra, which supplied electricity to the KGF Mines.[1][3] Sir. Robertson served as the British Resident of the Mysore Darbar in the 1900s, and during his tenure drafted the Constitution of the princely state of Mysore. He worked towards providing amenities to the population of KGF, even to those who were not employed by the mines, and is largely credited for establishing the KGF mining towns. In recognition of his services, His Highness, the Maharaja of Mysore Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV renamed New Town as Robertsonpet. After retirement from government services, Sir. Robertson joined the mining M/s John Taylor and Sons Company. He died on 13 October 1930.(p.291)[2] DemographicsThere is also a substantial Anglo-Indian population at KGF, descendants of the English mine supervisors.[4] Roberstonpet is a melting pot of cultures with people of different communities -Anglo Indian, Tamil, Telugu, Marwari, Kannada Muslims, etc. living in the township.[1] External links
