Head-quarters of the Naga Hills District, Eastern
Bengal and Assam, situated in 25 degree 41' N. and 94 degree7' E., about 5,000 feet
above the level of the sea. The cart-road from Dimapur in the Brah-
maputra Valley to Manipur passes through the town. Population
(1901), 3,093. The rainfall averages 76 inches, and the climate is
cool and pleasant. The head-quarters of the District were first located
at this place in 1878, with the object of bringing the powerful tribe of
AngamI Nagas, in whose territory it is situated, more completely under
control. The station is situated on a spur of the hill near the large
Naga village from which it takes its name, and contains a small jail
with accommodation for 32 persons and a hospital with 10 beds. The
garrison consists of two companies of native infantry and a battalion
of military police.

Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed.
