The Civil Lines is a historical residential area and one of the three subdivisions of the North Delhi district in India. It is also one of the 12 zones under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. During the colonial rule, it served as the hub for British colonial officials and senior administrators. The area was home to European-style hotels and residences until New Delhi was established in 1911.
