The distance of the state capital from the district Head Quarter is 330 KM. BAundArles The Hailakandi district is bounded by River Barak & Cachar district in the North & East. Mzoram State in the south & east and Karimganj district in the v\/est. The inter state border is stretched over 76 KM in ihe southeast. HistoricAl bAckground of the district According to historians, the Kukies are the first inhabitant of the district of Hailakandi. Subsequently, the Bodo-Kacharies (Dimasas) entered into the plains and settled in different places scattered in the northern part of the district. The name ‘Hailakandi" derives from the Kuke word “Halam" which means a small state and Kundia” a Bodo-Kacahari word which means a plot of land for temporary ploughing; according to the opinions of the historians like Rajmohan Nath and others. There are some other opinions in regard to nomenclature of Hailakandi. These are : i. That the area .vas abundant in paddy cultivation, particularly shair peddy was more in production and was the granary of the area as a whole. For that reason it was C0lled Shailkandi' - Kundi a Kuki word meaning a a bunch’- a land of the Kukis. From this it turns into Hailakandi. ii. The western portion of present Hailakandi was known as Boroibari. It was under the occupation of one Ipra Queen ‘Hail’. She was the Zamidar of the estate and from her name it became ‘Halirkandi’ & then turns into Hailkandi. Hailakandi - a leanifig plot of land, though it is difficult to decide which is historically correct yet according to majority opinion the combination of the derivatives of ‘Halam' and ' Kundina' was the origin. In the known period of history most parts of the erstwhile state of Cachar was under Tripuri administration. Existence of Sakala Dighi near Lala ( in the 5 km. South) is symbol of Tripuri reign. Other parts of the state were captured by the Kochs during the early i^iedievai period and continued as a Koch province til! the Dimacha occupied it. But. Hailakandi particularly its southern part remains under Tripura. According to Krishnamala it was then named as pLirbakul. But Tnpuries cou'Ici tiot continue for any longer period due to constant attack by ilie kukis who were domir people in the southern part of Hailakandi and gradually they receded froni ‘heir Purba-::.i province when they did a lot of works for public interest & Dimasas. Tlie Dimasas ca :‘wred Hailakandi, 1' the northern part and then towards the end of their ^uie over Cachar. tr.e southern part was also brought under their rule. Hailakandi .vent under the British rule -i 1830 with Silchar the other part of the state of Cachar. The Britishers built tiheir native c.hi.b at Monactierra. Hailakandi and Polo Ground at Ginn Tilla, vvhicl'i is Stiii 111 e \ ‘Stet>ce. Pace 11 of 11 During 2“ ' world war (1942 -43) the first Airport of the valley was built at Chandrapur - Bhabanipur village near Lala & 2'’^ airport was built at Kanchanpur, both are now used as paddy fields. Hailakandi district is i?nd of diversity where people of different cast, tribe, creed and religion live with unity from time immemorial. DAte of EstAblishment: Hailakandi was the one of the oldest Sub-division of the state which was constituted as Civil Sub-division on I'’' June 1869.
