==History==
In the late 19th and early 20th century, the mining industry expanded under the John Taylor and Sons Company. In its peak period, it employed 4500 employees, and the waste rocky terrain was developed into a township.〔 The township was first established in 1901 as New Town, to house the population working in the KGF Mines. On 15 August 1903, the township was renamed as Robertsonpet.〔 The Town got its name at the insistence of the Maharaja of Mysore, who named after Sir Donald Robertson the British Resident of Mysore. As the township grew, several tradesmen such as bakers, confectioners, jewellers, pawn brokers, barbers, timber merchants, tailors, etc. migrated and set up shop in Roberstsonpet.〔
A town hall (similar to the town halls in country Australia) was built in the Victorian architecture with arches, canopies and large garderns, and was named as the King George Hall. The KGF Club in Oorgaum and the The King George Hall Cosmopolitan Club were established providing faculties for badminton, tennis, cards, carom, snooker, etc.〔
