Sir Mirza Ismail Nagara, previously known as Richmond Town, is a neighbourhood located in the central part of the city of Bangalore. A part of the Bangalore Cantonment area, Richmond Town was established during British rule in 1883. During the period, the area mainly consisted of Anglo Indians, Parsis, Muslim traders from Persia and British residents. Like Kadamba Nagara, Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar Nagara and Langford Town, this area was known for its colonial design.[2]
