Origins of Tinsukia:-


When we begin with the origins, the ancient name of Tinsukia was Bangmara which was originally known as Changmai Pathar. It was the capital of Muttack Kingdom. The Bangmara city was built by King Sarbananda Singha with the help of his Minister Gopinath Barbaruah alias “Godha”. The city was built in the middle of the present Tinsukia City (near the Senairam H.S. School). As per the direction of Sarbananda Singha, Godha Baruah dug a triangular shaped pond in Bangmara which is known as "Tinikunia Pukhuri". In 1884 Dibru-Sadiya Rail line was constructed and a station was setup near the "Tinikunia Pukhuri" which was named as Tinsukia. Since then the City was popularly known as Tinsukia. The First King of Muttack Kingdom was Swargadeo Sarbananda Singha. Sarbananada Singha established his capital at Rangagarah situated in the bank of river Guijan. In 1791 A.D. he transferred his capital to Bangmara (present Tinsukia).

The Gift

The idea is to recognize the importance of culture, tourism, industries, natural resources, origin and improvements of the district. Any basic information that we document could  help people learn and improvise with the gifted district. I have tried to gather as much as information and further need as lot more to add to the blog.The potential of this district knows no bounds and has been developing at a good pace. However a few more hands could add up to the already developing district and moving forward.
