Description

The original name for the pier (bunder means port) was derived from the ÔPallaÕ fish that was sold at this spot in old times. This was corrupted to the Portuguese ÔPollemÕ and finally to the English Apollo. The pier was once a maze of wharves and docks where brisk trading took place. In the beginning of 1900, the British government began to reclaim this area in order to build a welcoming arch to receive King George V and Queen Mary. S V Rajadhakshya, the chief civil engineer (Public Works Department) during the British Raj, built Apollo Bunder in 1908, while George Wittet designed the Gateway of India to commemorate the first-ever visit of a British monarch to India.
