History

Nagang was under Burmese rule until 1826. After the ratification of the Yandaboo Treaty, it was ruled by Great Britain. Nagaon was incorporated into the area in 1832 as an independent administrative unit. After a few years, the British finally settled in what is now Nagaon, on the Kalong River. As a regional headquarters, it was formerly known as Kagorjjan. After the district administration was renamed Nogon, it gradually grew into a wealthy city. The eastern, western, and southern margins of the newly established districts were once ruled by several small feudal kings or their agents. In the first half of the 17th century, Momai Tamuli Barbarooah, a courageous official to King Pratap Singa of Ahom, ingeniously exploited the remaining influence of the Bhutanese government and reorganized it. Previously, this area was more of a strategic issue than an administrative one. This is a reorganized village system, hence it is called "Nagaon", which means new.
