==History==
Kalyani, located in Nadia district in the state of West Bengal, is a relatively young town. During the [[Second World War]], Kalyani, was the site of an [[List of United States military bases|American military airbase]], formed out of 21 villages in the district of Nadia.<ref name=kalyanihistory>{{cite news|last1=Bhattacharya|first1=Bitan|title=সামরিক শহরের স্মৃতি নিয়ে বেড়ে উঠেছে কল্যাণী|url=http://www.anandabazar.com/district/nodia-murshidabbad/%E0%A6%B8-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B8-%E0%A6%AE-%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%AC-%E0%A7%9C-%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A0-%E0%A6%9B-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2-%E0%A6%AF-%E0%A6%A3-1.104947|access-date=1 August 2015|publisher=Ananda Bazar Patrika|date=13 January 2015}}</ref>

The military garrison town was named after the then-sitting [[President of the United States]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] as "Roosevelt Town" or "Roosevelt ''Nagar''", with "nagar" meaning "town" in many [[Indo-Aryan languages]], including [[Bengali language|Bengali]]. Hangars and other reminders of the airfield are still visible in the 'A' Block and some areas around Kalyani University, whose buildings were built on or over the runways.<ref name="kalyanihistory" /> After [[World War II]], the [[United States Army Air Forces|United States Army Air Force]] left the base, and the airfield and hangars went into disuse.

The development of modern Kalyani is credited to the former [[Chief Minister of West Bengal]], [[Bidhan Chandra Roy]]. After the [[independence of India]] in 1947, the master plan of the town was developed and the foundation stone for the town was laid by the then Governor of West Bengal, [[Kailashnath Katju]], on 24 February 1951.<ref name="kalyanihistory" /> The town was built quickly in order to host the 59th [[Indian National Congress]] meeting in 1954. In memoriam of that conference, a road of the town was named as 'Congress Road'. In 1957, the Kalyani police station was formed, and in 1979, the rail line was extended from [[Kalyani main railway station|Kalyani Central]] to [[Kalyani Simanta railway station|Kalyani Simanta station]], and also established direct connectivity to Kolkata through Kalyani Simanta local EMU trains.<ref name="kalyanihistory" />

In 1995, the Kalyani Municipality was established, which has been crucial in the development of infrastructure in Kalyani.<ref name=kalyanihistory /> In 2014, Kalyani was selected as a candidate for a "Smart City" project. Although this project has since been abandoned by the State Government.

==Geography and urban structure==
Kalyani is located in the [[Nadia district]] of [[West Bengal]], within the [[Kolkata metropolitan area]]. Kalyani lies along the east bank of the [[Hooghly River]], within the upper [[Ganges Delta]].
