[2] Its history dates back to the British era when the Liluah Carriage and wagon Workshop was set up to release pressure off Howrah.

It also has jurisdiction over some areas beyond the town, while the eastern part of Liluah was earlier under the Bally Police Station until 2013.

Road from Howrah, you come across glittering shops and restaurants of 'Don Bosco Area' and RD Mall, further north, there is the century-old Liluah Railway Colony, made by the British in the first decade of the 20th century.

Liluah, or Lillooah as it was then written, was the depot of the former East Indian Railway [EIR].

Initially EIR had set up in 1853 a locomotive and carriage workshop near the Howrah Station (somewhere near the salt gola) with the idea of maintenance of assets after inauguration in 1854 and was later shifted to its present site in the year 1900 as the site did not meet the requirement in terms of magnitude of work.

As the Howrah location was found unsuitable for further expansion, the facility was finally shifted to its present site.

The Liluah Carriage and Wagon Workshop is located in the suburbs of Howrah about 7 km.

Apart from rolling stock required for transport of military equipment, Liluah also produced hundreds of Ambulances, Water Cars, tanks, armoured vehicles and lorries.

Liluah, or Lillooah as it was written then, was the home of the 1st Bn., the East Indian Railway Regiment.

(1900–1995) the first Indian to become the chairman of the Railway Board had a stint at the Liluah Carriage and Wagon Workshop, during its early days.

The roads in the colony still bear the names of the British engineers who worked in the workshop.

As a result of which, many people came to Liluah from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh as labourers in the small industrial units and gradually settled here; these people came to Kolkata in search of job opportunities, a condition experienced by all suburbs of Calcutta during the early post independence era; this resulted in significant ethical change in Liluah, which resulted in the majority Hindi-speaking population of Liluah since the late 1990s, in a contrast to the early 1990s, when most of the population was Bengali-speaking.

Apart from these three schools, the Sohanlal Deoralia Balika Siksha Sadan, established in the year 1962 is one of the oldest girls educational institution in Howrah, with the medium of instruction there primarily being Hindi.
