History

North Lakhimpur is located in the eastern state of Assam in India. The name Lakhimpur is believed to come from the word "Lakshmi", the goddess of wealth. The area mainly relies on agriculture and rice fields. Paddy is called "lakhimi" locally. The word "pure" means "full". Therefore, Lakhimpur means a place full of rice or a place where a lot of rice is grown. In addition, the soil in this area is alluvial and fertile, and crops can thrive without artificial fertilizers or hard work. In addition, there is plenty of fish, meat, vegetables and milk in this area. Others said that the term came from Lakhsmi Devi, the mother of Buyan Raja, a descendant of King Arimatta. According to the Governor's announcement, the area was named Lakhimpur District. In 1971, the district was reorganized into two districts. Dhemaji and North Lakhimpur.
