History
The tea bush flourished in Palampur's climatic conditions, attracting mostly European tea estate owners. The expansion of tea estates, starting from the mid-19th century, led to the development of infrastructure in Palampur, including schools, colleges, and hospitals. The town also emerged as a hub for labourers involved in activities such as plucking, packing, and transporting tea leaves.
