It is situated near to the Indian Army Camp of Jairampur. Unlike mainland India, Changlang was never under the British rule. During the era of the Silk Road, the natives of Chaglang knew about Tea trading and tea traders. A Singpho leader of Changlang district was then believed to be responsible for disclosing the secrets of Tea planting/cultivation/plantation to the British.

Recently, Naga Militants who were demanding for Nagalim had given Indian Army sleepless night. The conflict has cooled down in past 2 to 3 years.

Changlang also suffered from loss of generation as many youngsters were abducted by naga militants to recruit in their armies, many of them could never return; some of them are still believed to be fighting in Myanmar.
