It is said that Netaji was interned here by the Britishers. This place reflects our colonial past. It is a beautiful place no doubt. This place reminds us of a bygone era when British Raj was at its Zenith. No wonder the English never wanted to leave the country. For them India was the jewel in the crown.

After the capture of Old Fort William by Siraj-ud-daulah and battle of Plassey, Robet Clive started construction of the present Fort William in 1758 and it was completed in 1781. It remained the centre of British Power till the capital was transferred to Delhi in 1911. It is a compact fort, well defended and is said to be the only fort in the world which has never been besieged.
It has six Gates called Chowringhee, Plassey, Calcutta, Water Gate, St Georges and the Treasury Gate. It has a moat all around, has provision of large number of armed force. It has a church, theatre and had a granary to store rations for emergencies like drought etc.
