This was an overgrown coffee (flower) estate previously used by the Kandyan kings as a country retreat.

The De Soysa and Peiris family established the first Ceylonese-owned bank, the Bank of Kandy at Dalada weediya and Pettah, Colombo in 1839 & 1860, becoming the largest native commercial enterprise of the era at a time when European owned banks were reluctant to extend credit to the Ceylonese and the high interest rates of the Nattukkottai Chettiars.

He played a significant role in improving agriculture and the infrastructure in the Kandyan province and the coastal districts.
