Churachandpur District[1] (Meitei pronunciation: /tʃʊraːˌtʃaːnɗpʊr/), is one of the 16 districts of the Indian state of Manipur populated mainly by Kuki-Zo people.[6] The name honours former Maharaja Sir Churachand Singh of Manipur.[7][8] The district headquarters is located in the Churachandpur town, which is also locally known by the name Lamka.[9]
The Churachandpur district first came into being as the South-West Area hill subdivision of Manipur in 1919.[10] It soon acquired the name "Churachandpur subdivision" based on its headquarters at Songpi, which was also called "Churachandpur". After the independence of India, it remained one of the eight subdivisions of Manipur.[11] A "New Churachandpur" town was built at the present location to serve as its headquarters. In 1969, the subdivision was upgraded to a district, initially called "Manipur South" and later "Churachandpur district".[12] In 2016, the western part of the district consisting of the Tipaimukh and Thanlon subdivisions has been made a separate district called Pherzawl, and the rump territory remains Churachandpur district.[13]
