    History

    The history of Paymaster Park is intertwined with the development of Matheran as a popular hill station during the British Raj. It was named after a prominent figure, likely a British officer or a local dignitary, who contributed to the development and beautification of the area. While specific details about the individual are scarce, the park itself was likely established in the late 19th or early 20th century as part of the efforts to create recreational spaces for British residents and tourists. Over the years, Paymaster Park has been maintained and preserved, becoming a cherished landmark and a testament to Matheran's rich colonial past and enduring natural charm.
