Kullu name is given after Kalut. Kalut was name of tribe which live in upper Beas Valley. Kullu is famous for Kullu shawls and Kullu Dusshera all over india. I is situated on the right bank of Beas river and earler it was also known as Kullantpitha means end of  habitated world. Kullu was a oldest State after Kashmir and Kangra it was founded in first century. It is also known as valley of gods. There is a broad valley from Manali to Largi both sides of beas river which is full of apple orchards and other furits are also grown .Capital of Kullu state was shifted from Naggar which remain capital for many 1400 years  to Kullu . Kullu was ruled by Pal dynasty and after independence it was sub division of Kangra district and was made part of himachal Pradesh in 1st november 1966 after reorgnisaton of states. Earlier in 1963 it was made seperate district. As per history of kullu, references of its origin can be traced back in Ramayana and Mahabharata. History of kullu of pre indpendence period  states that kullu was the most ancient state next to Kashmir and Kangra. It was founded in the first centure of christian era by Behangmani Pal.It appears that people of higher valley of kullu at that time were suffereing from the repressive regime of the thakuras of sspiti. Behangamani Pal organised the upper valley first revolution sparked off at Jagatsukh. Subsequently pal dysasty was thus established. Its origninal capital was estblished at Jagatsukh. Nearly ten generations ruled from there till captal was shifted to Naggar which reamined seat of government as many as 1400 years till it was finaly moved to Kullu.
           Their rule continued till about 1450 when reference is available about raja Kelas Pal . After this there was long break of about 50 years. It seems thakurs and ranas might have captured power during these years forcing pal  rajas to flee from the valley. It was again in the fiftheentth centurye that the reference of raja Sidh Singh appears as raja of Kullu. He too helped the people to organise against thakuras  and established the old Pal dynasty. Reference may be made to raja Jagat Singh 1637- 1672 who conqured the fort of Madankot which belonged to Jihna rana, above Manali. It was during his regime that famous idol of Raghunathji was brought ffrom Ayoudhya and installed at the temple of Raghunathji at Sultanpur(Kullu).
              Like other hill states history of Kullu had also its ups and downs till it was ceded to Britsh according the Lahore treaty of 1846 along with other trans sutluj states. Firstly, Kullu was made a sub division of district of Kangra. Lahaul Spiti was made a part of Kull for proper administration and then Lahaul spiti was made seperate district in 1960 and Kullu was also made a seperate district in 1963 and it remained as part of Punjab till oct. 1966 when after regorgnisation of states it was made part of Himachal Pradesh in 1st Nov 1966.
