Allahabad Urban Agglomeration
The Municipal Board of Allahabad was founded in 1863. As a response to events of 1857, the British planned a new town to be called "Cannington" (after Lord Canning) on the other side of the railway station from the old city; this was laid out on a grid pattern, and become known as the "civil lines" or the "civil station". In 1867, this area and the city were amalgamated for municipal purposes.

Allahabad Municipal Corporation was established in 1959.

Allahabad was one of six cities in Uttar Pradesh declared to have metropolitan status in October 2006.
