Cincinnatus Town

[4] The town was designed with a single lane road linking the new township to the Ismaili Jamaat Khana in Lea Market in 1880.

D'Souza could not have visualised that the town he was designing would one day have high rise buildings in place of Goan style bungalows.

Nor could he have conceived that camel carts and horse driven carriages would one day be replaced by buses and motor cars that would need the broad streets of his layout.

The town was named Cincinnatus, after the city of Cincinnati, in Ohio, USA, that as of 2012 had a large Portuguese population migrated from India and Pakistan, Mozambique and Angola.

[6] The hard work and meticulous planning of D'Souza and Britto of Cincinnatus town has since the independence of Pakistan in 1947, benefitted not just the Goans, but Khojas, Ismailis and Memons as well.
