History

Vagamon has no long history to boast of and has not been explored for centuries. Although the British had a plantation here, it was not widely known until 1926, when Walter Duncan and Company opened their tea plantation here. In the 1930s, more tea plantations were established in the area. In the 1950s, the famous Kurizumala practice site settled here, which became a turning point in its development into a well-known place.
