About District

Gumla district was carved out of the old Ranchi district in 1983 and has a rich history shaped by tribal heritage, ancient dynasties, colonial rule, and social movements.During the medieval era, the Chhotanagpur region was ruled by the kings of the Nagvanshi dynasty and Baraik Devenandan Singh ruled the Gumla region.During British rule in India Gumla was in Lohardaga district, and in 1800 there was a revolt against the Raj.

In 1807, the Oraons of Barway (west of Gumla) murdered their landlord from Srinagar, and the uprising spread throughout Gumla. In 1818, Bakhtar Say reportedly played a prominent role. In 1843, Gumla became part of Bishunpur province. The province, which was abolished in 1899, was later named Ranchi; in 1902, Gumla became a subdivision of Ranchi district.
