History

The place is named after a car showroom Patny Motors. The showroom which was established in 1927 by Mr. M. R. Patny later became a famous landmark. The historic Mehboob College is also located in Patny Circle. Initially founded in 1862 by Mr. Somasundaram Mudaliar as a public school for primary education, a first in those days. This was also where Swami Vivekananda addressed a large gathering in 1893 before he left for Chicago. This college building is declared as a heritage building by HUDA.
