As Calcutta entered the 1850s and British colonies became the order of the day, the Britishers overtly displayed their contempt to brush shoulders with “natives” at the bazaars. In 1871, swayed by an orchestrated cry from English residents, a committee of the Calcutta Corporation contemplated a market which would be the prize preserve of Calcutta’s British citizens.
Detta område döptes först till Sir Stuart Hogg Market och kallades kort och gott för the Hogg Market men i dagsläget numera bara New Market.
