'''Civil Lines''' is a [[Civil Lines]] commercial street located near the town centre in [[Bareilly]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is located centrally in the city of [[Bareilly]] and is shopping district for the local population.

==History==
The name Civil Lines comes from the time of the [[British Raj]], when the city of [[Delhi]] was organized into separate areas where the British Military and Civilian buildings were located. Areas where civilians lived were demarcated as Civil Lines. Later most of the prominent North Indian cities, including Bareilly, adopted this name for their commercial areas.

The civil lines of Bareilly was settled between the old city and the [[Bareilly Cantonment|cantonment]] in the late nineteenth century; only British officers used to live in the area then.<ref name="lal 8">{{harvnb|Lal|1987|p=8}}</ref> Apart from the cantonment, the police lines and the [[Bareilly Junction railway station|railway station]] were also located to the south of the civil lines, While the district prison was to its west and the circuit house was situated to its north-east, where several upper class bungalows were built.<ref name="lal 8">{{harvnb|Lal|1987|p=8}}</ref> A few years later, the Company Garden (now Gandhi Udyan) was constructed towards its east.<ref name="lal 9">{{harvnb|Lal|1987|p=9}}</ref>

After independence, the civil lines started expanding in the northeast direction, and it was at this time, that a residential colony named Rampur Garden started to settle on this side.<ref name="lal 11">{{harvnb|Lal|1987|p=11}}</ref> Most of the government offices in Bareilly are located in the Civil Lines or Rampur Garden.<ref name="lal 11">{{harvnb|Lal|1987|p=11}}</ref>
