Rokeby was built in 1840 by Captain G.N. Cauthy and is one of theRokeby landmarks of Landour. LikeManor many houses in Mussoorie, its name is taken from the writings of Sir Walter Scott, whose book-length poem describes heroic battles near the original Rokeby Castle in England. Several years after it was built, the house came into the possession of Lt. Col. Reilly, who also owned Ralston, another residence in Mussoorie. In 1878, Reilly mortgaged both properties for Rs. 25,000 to Frederick 'Pahari' Wilson, a controversial adventurer and entrepreneur, who was the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's classic story, "The Man Who Would Be King". Pahari Wilson and his Garhwali wife, Gulabi, are buried in the cemetery on Camel's Back Road.
Rokeby changed several owners and was eventually bought by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society who converted it into a boarding house for young missionary ladies. Methodist missionaries continued to operate the property as a guest house throughout the rest of the 20th century.

If Mussoorie is "Queen of the Hills," then Landour must be the fairer princess, even though it containsIn someand of the oldest around settlements. British forcesMussoorie... occupied this region of Garhwal following the Ghurka wars in the second decade of the 19th century. Colonel Frederick Young, an Irish officer in the East India Company army constructed the first permanent dwelling at Mullingar in 1825. Landour takes its name from Llanddowror, a small town in Wales. In 1827, it became a convalescent depot for British troops suffering from malaria and other tropical diseases. Those who did not survive are buried in the cemetery on the north side of the hill. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a British Military Hospital was established and remained open until 1947. The hospital buildings currently house the Defense Ministry's Institute of Technology Management. Sisters' Bazaar acquired its name from the nursing sisters who lived nearby the hospital. Some of the other early buildings include St. Paul's church, built in 1840, and the original Landour Cantonment Post Office at Char Dukan. An old bridal trail, which circles the three summits of Landour ridge,g is known as the chukkar and became motorable in the late 1950s.
