Kamptee (also Kamthi) is a town just outside Nagpur in the Central Provinces that originally was focused around a military cantonment. It was at one time a flourishing trading town.

Cantonment

The cantonment was established in 1821 and until the end of the century controlled the entire Nagpur district.
