History:

said to have a rich history that dates back to 500 years. The name itself
is possibly derived from a village named Harirah which was located in

came up in 1854 and in 1862 the first municipal administration started
functioning though the modern day Corporation as we see it now came into
being in 1980 when the Howrah Act, 1980 was implemented. Bengali, Hindi,

The
Howrah Station
It is the gateway of Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal to the rest
of the country. Developed towards the early part of the twentieth century,
it has become one of the most important transit points for passengers
and goods movement in the country. The present station building will be
completing its glorious 100 years in 2006.
The Howrah Bridge or the Rabindra Setu.
The old Howrah Bridge, a floating pontoon Bridge, was opened in October
1874 and made over to Port Commissioners who managed and maintained it.
Designed by the late Sir Bradford Leslie, it had a total length of 1528
feet between centres of abutments and provided a 48' feet roadway and
two 7' feet footways. The most novel feature was the removable section
which when floated out gave a 200' feet clear openings, with a head room
of 22' feet, were also provided for smaller crafts. The adjusting ways
or shore spans, one at each end of the bridge, consisted of three 160'
feet long bow string girders.

The Great Banyan Tree
This tree is the chief attraction and also the pride and glory of the
Garden. It resembles more like a forest than a single tree and evokes
awe and wonder in the minds of the vast multitude of daily visitors. The
tree has sent down innumerable roots from its branches vertically to the
ground and the roots have grown thick and shout to bear all the appearance
of so many trunks. The striking development of the aerial roots from branches
is peculiarity of the Banyan tree. The main trunk of the Banyan tree was
about 51 feet in girth in December, 1894 and the aerial roots which
actually reached the ground at that date numbered 378 and the roots newly
formed which did not reach the ground numbered 100. According to this
tradition the age of the tree would be 235 years now in 2004.

two Bungalows of Howrah Zilla Parishad. The new Bungalow is situated in
the vicinity of the confluence. There is also one deer park within the

embankment.
