The British Indian Army already had a small encampment west of the Mula River in Khadki. As more troops were required to be accommodated, a larger area was occupied to the west of the Mutha River, leading to the establishment of the Pune Cantonment in 1817[3] for accommodating troops of the British Indian Army. The villages of Mali, Munjeri, Wanowrie and Ghorpuri (Ghorpadi) were selected for this purpose.[4] Initially, a garrison for 4,620 troops was planned for the cantonment. This included two European regiments, a mountain battery, a native cavalry and three native regiments.[3] A central belt of 130acres was designated for training and drills. The firing ranges were located at Golibar Maidan.[3] Soon a large number of civilians began settling in the area. This was encouraged since civilians provided services to troops garrisoned in the cantonment.The limits of the cantonment were extended in 1822. In 1963, Ghorpuri village (Ghorpadi) and Fatima Nagar were merged into the cantonment area. The limit of the cantonment was again extended in the same year when Mundhwa village was included in the cantonment.
