Kamptee: Kamptee 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 15 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. Now in the year 2008 the population of Kamptee is more than two lacs people but exactly should be enquire. There is market naming Gujri Bazar it is over 100 years old.
