Barrackpore, about 15 miles from Calcutta, became the site of the first British barracks in India in 1772. Later, the town also housed the residence of the Viceroy. The cantonment was the scene of the Barrackpore Mutiny in 1824 and also the 1857 incident with Mangal Pandey that is often said to have started the Indian Mutiny.
