Fort William Arsenal was established in India in 1781 and is one of the oldest and greatest arsenals outside Great Britain. It was a massive facility, combining both the functions of a major fort and the main arsenal of the East India Company. When the British Crown took over administration of the Raj after the mutinies of 1857, Fort William came under the authority of the Royal Army.
