After the First Anglo-Sikh war, 1846 following the death of Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh( in 1839) ,East India Company took control of Jalandhar. The landmark garden , in which Municipal Corporation office is located was named " COMPANY BAGH" after East India Company.
In 1858 British Government took away charge from East India Company. Company Bagh was renamed QUEEN'S GARDEN ( after Queen Victoria).
After independence the Bagh was, again, renamed " NEHRU GARDEN".
But the garden is still popularly known among citizens of Jalandhar as Company Bagh.

Any historical site without the pictures is like a body without a head....Pls. include current pictures of Company Bagh
Absolutely right. The needful would be done soon
Company Bagh, Jalandhar beautifully reflects the city’s rich historical and cultural legacy, evolving from its British-era origins to a modern public space that continues to serve as a vibrant recreational and civic hub. The transformation of this landmark into Nehru Garden while preserving its greenery, heritage structures, and public utility highlights the importance of maintaining historical identity alongside urban development. It remains a symbol of Jalandhar’s heritage, offering both locals and visitors a peaceful environment that blends history, nature, and community life in a meaningful way.
