History

On January 1, 1994, the district was established through the division of the former Sambalpur district. There are nearly equal numbers of tribal and non-tribal residents living there. The former capital of British India’s Bamanda or Bamra princely kingdom was Deogarh. The ruler of this princely state is a member of the Gajapati emperor of Odisha’s extended royal line and is descended from the Ganga vamsi dynasty. An intelligent monarch, Raja Shri Basudeb Sudhal Deb (1869–1903) made significant contributions to the advancement of Oriya nationalism and the princely state’s conditions. He made more of an impact on literature, education, and the arts.
