Because they came from UK, where they did not face scorching heat of Indian summer. That is why they built army cantonments in hills and settled around there. You will find army cantonments in locations like Shimla, Wellington, Takdah near Darjeeling, Landour near Mussoorie, Ranikhet, Nainital built during British rule. Weather was not extremely hot during summer as was the case in great plains of Norther India. Hence all hill stations were built by British compared to Indians who were used to weather.
