Kamptee or Kampthi as it is now known was founded in 1821 when the British established a military cantonment on the banks of the Kanhan River just below the confluence with the Pench and Kolar rivers. The town quickly became an important centre for trade, however with the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century this importance dwindled as trade was diverted to the nearby city of Nagpur, the local native capital.
Today Kamptee is an outer suburb of Nagpur just 17 kms NE from the city centre, it has an area of 40,706 hectares and a population, according to the 1991 census of 73,701. The town has three cinemas, two thriving markets, Gujari market and Sindhi market both over 100 years old. There are two long bridges over the Kanhan river .One is a typical railway bridge of steel girder construction with tall concrete piers, the other, much older, is a road viaduct with 12 masonry semi-elliptical arches supported on tall substantial masonry piers.
