Shimla was under the rule of Gurkhas before the year 1819. After the Gurkha War, the Britishers founded a dense forest near the temple of Goddess Shyamala in the region and named it Shimla. Lieutenant Ross, the Assistant Political Agent in the Hill States then, built the first wooden cottage here. Britain-like climate invited several British officers to this quaint hill station during hot Indian summers. In a few years, many pucca houses were built. British officers started spending their entire vacation here and bestowed it with the title of Summer Capital of India.
