==History and name== The village of Bangalore is said to have been gifted to Kempe Gowda I (1513–1569) by the Vijayanagara emperors. The Halasuru Lake was built by his successor, Kempe Gowda II, and is the only surviving tank built by the Gowda kings in Bangalore. The first British military station was established in Halasuru in 1807.
