Ootacamund, now frequently known as Ooty (but officially called Udhagamandalam), is a town in the Nilgiri Hills. Ooty was the Madras Presidency summer capital and the headquarters of the Nilgiris District. It was founded in the 1820s by John Sullivan (1788 -1855). Lovedale is an area to the south west of the town where the Lawrence Asylum is located.

The cantonment at Wellington is situated about eight miles from Ootacamund, and one and a half miles north of Coonoor. Until 1860, the cantonment was known as Jackatalla (spelling variants: Jackatallah, Jakkatalla, Jakatala).

Keti (Kaiti) three miles south-east of Ootacamund was the location of a Boer prisoner of war camp from March 1902 to August 1902, when the prisoners were repatriated.[1]
