'''Palampur''', situated in the Kangra Valley, owes much of its early rise and prosperity to tea. Its cultivation was introduced to Kangra from a Chinese hybrid growing in Almora by Dr. Jameson, Superintendent Botanical Gardens, North-West Frontier Province in 1849. This attracted several European tea planters and their families to the area.<ref>[http://himachaltourism.gov.in/post/Churches-and-cemeteries-of-Himachal-Pradesh.aspx Churches and Cemeteries of Himachal Pradesh] Himachal Tourism.</ref>
