| About Nagpur Tourism |
Nagpur lies right at the geographical centre of India along the River Nag, from which the city derives its name. The capital of the erstwhile Central Province, Nagpur is a growing metropolis with a large commercial hub. The Marathi-majority Vidarbha region was merged with the state of Maharashtra in 1960, and Nagpur was awarded the status of second capital.
Famous for its superior quality oranges, Nagpur is popularly called the Orange City.
The city's foundation was laid by the Gond King of Deogad in 1702, who
ruled for years before conceding power to the British. Nestling in the
Satpura Hills, this city is also the second greenest in India, and one of its cleanest. A culturally active city, Nagpur hosts classical music concerts, exhibitions and plays regularly.
