About District

Nayagarh District is an Odisha administrative district that was formed on April 1, 1993, when the former Puri District was divided into three independent districts. . The history of Nayagarh District dates back to the thirteenth century and is regarded significant in Odisha’s political history. On a trip to Puri from Madhya Pradesh, King Suryamani of the Baghela dynasty built his kingdom at Nayagarh.

Just before his death, the King Ragunath Singh divided his estate between his three sons. Harihar Singh got Nayagarh and Jadunath Singh got four Khandagrams (large area of land) which was known as Khandapara later. It was his heirs from here on that ruled Nayagarh District until it was captured by the Britishers. The four Garjat republics of ex-states Ranpur, Nayagarh, Khandapara, and Daspalla make up the Nayagarh District. The District is situated on the steep mountains in the west, with small well-cultivated fertile valleys pierced by minor streams in the north.
