'''Hebbal''' is an Assembly Constituency area in [[Bangalore]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]], which was once indicative of the north endpoint of the city. Though originally famous for [[Hebbal Lake, Bangalore|Hebbal Lake]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Hebbal Lake, Bangalore|url=http://www.karnataka.com/bangalore/hebbal-lake/|work=www.karnataka.com|publisher=Karnataka.com|access-date=14 April 2014}}</ref> it is now better known for the serpentine maze of [[Overpass|flyovers]] that network the [[Outer Ring Road (Bangalore)|Outer Ring Road]] and [[Bellary]] Road on [[National Highway 7 (India)|NH7]]. The flyover spans a length of {{convert|5.23|km|mi|1}} over all the loops combined. The flyover was built by [[Gammon India]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The longest urban flyover at Hebbal for the Bangalore Development Authority - 5.3km|url=http://www.gammonindia.com/projects/landmark-project-for-gammon-india.htm|work=GAMMON INDIA LIMITED}}</ref> The lake area in Hebbal is well-known for its picnic spots, a well-maintained park, boating facilities and for the [[Birdwatchers' Field Club of Bangalore|bird watching]] opportunities.


Hebbal used to be the end of the corporation limits of [[Bangalore]] City. One can still see the milestone between the Baptist hospital and checkpost. Bangalore has now grown quite a bit towards north,<ref>{{cite web|title=baptist hospital hebbal bangalore|url=http://www.distancesfrom.com/baptist-hospital-hebbal-bangalore-latitude-longitude-baptist-hospital-hebbal-bangalore-latitude-bapt/LatLongHistory/1293177.aspx|work=distancesfrom.com|access-date=21 April 2014}}</ref> beyond these marks. L&T factory, which was established in the 1970s, is also close to Hebbal. Raintree Boulevard project is coming up at same place before GKVK University. There are also a number of new office buildings and commercial enterprises which is making Hebbal a new and attractive investment spot.

== History ==
Historians have suggested that the vicinity of [[Hebbal Lake, Bangalore|Hebbal Lake]] to the area has made Hebbal possibly one of the oldest inhabited areas in Bengaluru. An [[Hebbal-Kittayya inscription|inscription stone]] dating back to 750 [[Anno Domini|AD]] was found near Maaramma temple in Hebbal which describes what may be the first-named Bengalurean, Kittayya. The stone describes an attack by [[Rashtrakuta dynasty|Rashtrakuta]] raiders against whom he defended Perbolal, a name that morphed into Hebbal over the years. Historian B N Sundar Rao in his seminal work ‘Bengaluru Itihasa’, has also theorized that [[Kempe Gowda I|Kempegowda]] borrowed the name Bengaluru from a hamlet to the northwest of [[Hebbal Lake, Bangalore|Hebbal Lake]]. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/a-hebbal-hamlet-that-gave-bengaluru-its-name-756048.html|title=A Hebbal hamlet that gave Bengaluru its name|date=2019-08-22|website=Deccan Herald|language=en|access-date=2020-03-13}}</ref>

==Transport==

===Roads===
All arterial roads and road networks leading to the BIAL intersect at Hebbal. Further, BIAL has its office on the National Highway (NH 7) exit of the Hebbal flyover in Gayathri Lake Front. Due to short-sightedness of the governing authorities, the Hebbal Flyover has become a bottle-neck for traffic flow from the city centre towards North and the same when traveling from North to city centre. Traffic is crawling be it any time of the day. This is because almost 6 lanes coming from each side, jostle to fit in the two lane Hebbal bridge bringing the traffic to a stand still.

===Buses===
The area is well connected by [[Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation|BMTC]] buses. From Hebbal, you can get the city bus for almost all places in Bangalore. Hebbal is also a common point if you are traveling to/from the airport. Hebbal also has a small [[Train station|railway station]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indiarailinfo.com/arrivals/hebbal-heb/4632|title=Trains to Hebbal Station - 6 Arrivals SWR/South Western Zone - Railway Enquiry|website=indiarailinfo.com|access-date=2019-09-12}}</ref>
