Mussoorie was founded in 1823 by Captain Frederick Young of the British East India Company, who was captivated by the ridge while on a hunting expedition. It quickly became a premier hill station for the British summer retreat, and several notable figures including Jawaharlal Nehru (who attended school here) and Mahatma Gandhi have resided in the town. The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration has trained India's civil servants in Mussoorie since 1959.
