Soldierpet is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India.[1] In the 18th century the area was a residential colony for the British Army.[2]

History[edit]

Soldierpet was formerly home to an Anglo-Indian community and resembles the backyards of Great Britain. The locality has several educational institutions.[3]

The city is now expanding northward and has had problems with pollution.[4]
