Jutogh is a suburb of Simla City.
The Gazetteer of the Simla District 1904 states: "The station of Jutogh lies in a detached hill overlooking the old Kalka and Simla road, some three miles from the west end of Simla. The hill was acquired by the British Government in 1843. It was first occupied by a regiment of Gurkhas, and was afterwards made over to the Governors of the Bishop Cotton School, but, being found unsuitable for this purpose, was for a time abandoned. Two batteries of British Mountain Artillery and two companies of British Infantry are stationed here during the summer months".
