A cantonment is a military or police quarters.
The word cantonment derives from the French word canton meaning corner or district and describes a place during a military campaign, such as winter quarters, where units of an army may be encamped for longer periods than they are during advances and retreats. The term shares an etymological origin with the Swiss Cantons though the meaning has widely diverged.
