History of Happy Valley Tea Estate
This marvellous estate was established during the colonial period in 1854 by an Englishman, David Wilson. At the turn of the century, it was bought by T P Bannerjee, a rich Bengali man. In 1929, Bannerjee bought the adjoining Windsor estate and combined the two properties to create the Happy Valley Tea Estate.
