History

In 1850 it was completely closed. Sharif Uddin defined that, there is a sugar mill which didn’t exist for a long time. A flower mill also exists there. News was published at “Dhaka News” in 1858, which described that, there was a Flour Mill”. One British man named “William Floli” placed the Flour Mill after the closing of that sugar mill. Then it was known as “Foli’s Mill”.

In 1858, when the Army came to Dhaka from Calcutta for assistance, few of them stayed in Mill Barrack. Since that time this building and its surrounding area became known as Mill Barrack. From Cley’s report, government bought this Foli’s Mill for Residence of Army and in 1867, government announced that the mill and its surrounding area will be a Cantonment. After 1905, there was a Police Training Camp for a long time.
