    Madras was the first to have a Municipal Coroporation in 1687 and two presidency towns of Bombay and Calcutta joined the league in 1720. But they were given municipal status under the acts of 1720 abd 1850. At the time of Mayo's Resolution 1870, there were around 190 municipalities in British India.
