The structured Gampaha town plan was first introduced in 1920 by the Government Agent J.P Pressers. The plan incorporated 52 roads including the main street, a water tank, a public market, a hospital and an electrical generator. The British colonists built Henarathgoda railway station in 1864. Lady Ridgeway Mary made decorative touches to the town with plants and trees making the town a scenic place. As an honour for her name,the road running from downtown to the hospital junction was later named  Queen Mary’s road. The volleyball statue is a famous landmark in Gampaha.
