[[File:Corner of Harrison Street (Burra Bazar) and Strand Road, Calcutta in 1945.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Image of Harrison Street Strand Road and Burra Bazaar in Kolkata (Calcutta) in 1945, shortly before the urban expansion of West Bengal]]

[[West Bengal]] is the [[States and union territories of India|state]] with the second highest [[population density]] in [[India]]. The state is dotted with several large and medium cities and towns. Historically, the main source of income of the people of West Bengal has been [[farming]], and, as a consequence, the state previously had a large rural population skew. At the turn of the 20th century, however, the role of industry in West Bengal increased substantially, leading to a population move into [[urban area]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/India_at_glance/density.aspx| title = India at a glance: Population Density| publisher = Census of India, 2001 | accessdate = 2008-12-13}}</ref>

In 1947, when India gained independence, the erstwhile [[British India]]n province of [[Bengal]] was divided into two parts: the eastern region formed [[East Pakistan]], which became [[Bangladesh]] in 1971, and the western part joined India as the state of West Bengal. Scores of refugees from the eastern part came to West Bengal, leading to the start of new urban areas, and contributing to the congestion of already established cities like [[Kolkata]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Census_Data_Online/Population/List_of_Million_Plus_Cities.aspx|title=List of Million Plus Cities of India|publisher=Census of India|accessdate=2008-10-14}}</ref>
