Brief Industrial Profile of Morigaon District
1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DISTRICT:
The history of Morigaon is obscure. One famous traditional ruler of the region was Arimatta whose
history is shrouded in mystery. After Arimattas's death, Jongalbalahu, his son ruled over the region.
Jongalbalahu was ultimately killed by the Kacharis with a bamboo spear near Kajalimukh. The legend further
goes on to say that Jongalbalahu to escape his pursuers, submerged himself in Kollong river and emerge at Raha to
quench his thirst and again dived here to emerge at Jagi. From this incident were derived the names of present day Raha
and Jagi.
The writing of Bhimsingh throws some light on the history of present Morigaon town and its adjoining areas. This region
was ruled independently by six rulers. During this time two princes from Darrang, Supradhvaj and Makardhvaj, fled from
their homeland due to internal clash, by crossing the mighty Brahmaputra and they settled at Bahakajari. Later on,
Supradhvaj married the daughter of Mangalsingh, the King of Baghara. Supradhvaj was then made the seventh king of the
region, having an independent kingdom of his own.
During the days of Lachit Borphukan, another two princes from Darrang, Ram Singh and Bhimsingh crossed the
Brahmaputra in search of plain lands. After Bhim Singh settled down, meanwhile, Ram Singh left for his home. Bhim
Singh was not liked by the local people; hence, he left Brahmaputra and settled down near Mori Beel. This place came to
known as Morigaon.
Marigaon became a fully-fledged district on 29 September 1989, when it was split from Nagaon district.
1.1 LOCATION & GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
The district covers an area of 10,83,165 Bighas and 13 Lessas (1450.02 Sq. Kms). The district is bounded by the
mighty Brahmaputra on the North, Karbi Anglong district on the South, Nagaon District on the East and Kamrup District
on the West. The greater part of the district is an alluvial plain, criss-crossed with numerous rivers and water ways and
dotted with many beels and marshes. The mighty Brahmaputra flows along with the northern boundary of the district.
Killing, Kollong and Kapili rivers flow through the southern part of of the district. The Killing meets the Kapili at the
Matiparbat where from Kapili moves westward. The Kollong joins Kapili at the Jagi Dui Khuti Mukh and from here they
jointly fall into the Brahmaputra.
The general appearance of the district is extremely picturesque. On a clear day in the winter the view to the north is
bounded by the blue ranges of the outer Himalayas, behind which snowy peaks glisten brightly in the sun, while to the
west and the south of the district lie range upon range of lower hills, whose sides are covered with luxuriant vegetation of
the tropical forest.
