- District of Santhal Parganas was formed in 1856, covering parts of Bhagalpur and Birbhum districts; this area was earlier called 'Jangaltari Track/ 'Damin-i-koh'/'Narikhand' (ancient times) The residents within this region comprised mainly the tribals.
- This region had never been under control of any rule. The natives of this region were the 'Paharia' people. It is the peculiarity of this region that the holdings or zamindari records are listed in revenue records under "Touji' numbers. The owners and zamindars of these 'Toujis' used to pay the rents and arrears of revenue to relevant district magistrates. This convention has been discontinued after abolition of zamindari system.
