'''Darjeeling''' was a [[hill station]] in [[Bengal]].
There were military cantonments at '''Jalapahar ''' (alternative spelling '''Jellapahar''') (established 1848), Darjeeling and at '''Lebong''', situated below Darjeeling about eight miles away. Lebong cantonment was established in 1882 as part of the Jalapahar cantonment, and became a separate cantonment in 1895.<ref>[http://www.darjeelingtimes.com/news/news/Discursive-Hills-Book-Review-.html Dr. Wangyal's Column : Discursive Hills] 1 November 2008 Darjeelingtimes.com</ref>There were artillery barracks at '''Katapahar''', above Darjeeling and it appears that this was what was called the Darjeeling cantonment. The term "Darjeeling cantonment may have " seems at times to have also included Jalapahar, which was a convalescent depot.
