Kolar Gold Fields is known as “Little England” by the British, due to its similar temperate weather and a landscape similar to Britain’s. It’s a cosmopolitan city, where various languages are used.

The Champion Reef at the Kolar Gold Fields was mined to a depth of 50 meters during the Gupta period in the fifth century A.D.

KGF was the third city in India to get electricity after Darjeeling (1897) and Calcutta (1898), from Shivanasamudra Hydroelectric project. Mines were handed over to the government company called Bharat Gold Mines Limited (BGML) under the Ministry of Mines in 1972.
