Presidency City

Calcutta, Bombay and Madras were the three Presidency cities in British India.

The jurisdiction areas were known as Bengal Presidency, Bombay Presidency and Madras Presidency respectively. These were under direct control of the British East India Company from the beginning of the British rule and after 1857, administered directly under the crown of Queen Victoria (and following monarchs) who ascended the British throne.
