Matheran was identified by Hugh Poyntz Malet, the then district collector of Thane district, in May 1850. It was Lord Elphinstone, the then Governor of Bombay, who laid the foundations of the development as a future hill station. The British developed Matheran as a famous location to beat the intense summer heat in the region.
