'''Mussoorie''' is a [[hill station]] situated in the foothills of the Himalayas. It was developed by the British from 1825 as a summer retreat and remains a popular tourist destination. Several boarding schools catering for British families were established in and around Mussoorie and its satellite, '''Landour'''. There was a British cantonment at Landour. There are a few references to a cantonment at Mullingar, which is probably part of Landour, where there is a Mullingar Hill.
