Dhemaji Knowledge Guide

History

The area of the present district was under the control of the Chutiya kings during their reign of over 400 years. Ruins of the erstwhile capital are still there but not well preserved. A number of monuments Ghuguha Dol, Ma Manipuri Than, Padumani Than built by the Ahom kings are worth visiting. Dhemaji became a fully-fledged district on 14 October 1989, when it was split from Lakhimpur district.
