content: The town of Nainital was founded in 1841, after the British took control of the region. As the town grew, it served as a summer residence for British soldiers and officials. One of the first buildings constructed in the town was the church of St. John in the Wilderness, completed in 1846. The church is located on the center-left of the image. The town is named for the nearby lake, Nainital, which is a part of the system of waterbodies and mountains that make up the Himalayas.
