Etymology

Jorhat ("jor" means twin and "hat" means market) means two hats or mandis - "Masorhaat" and "Sowkihat" which existed on the opposite banks of the Bhugdoi river.

History

The name Jorhat is derived from the Assamese words "Jor" (two) and "Hat" (market), referring to the historic markets of Macharhat and Chowkihat, which were located on opposite banks of the Bhogdoi River. In 1794, Ahom king Gaurinath Singha established Jorhat as the fifth and last capital of the Ahom Kingdom after the Moamaria rebels occupied Rangpur. Jorhat remained the capital of the Ahom kingdom until the British occupation of Assam in 1826. The city is known for its Ahom-period heritage, including the historical Rajamaidam, Lachit Borphukan's Maidam, Captain Gohain's Maidam, Rajmao Pukhuri, Mithapukhuri, Burhi Goshani Dewalaya, Hatigarh Dewalaya, Bibudhi Garh, and Borbheti, which reflect its importance during the late Ahom period.

Under Konbaung empire

Maha Bandula who led the Burmese forces to Jorhat

The town was occupied by the Burmese Konbaung dynasty between 1817 - 1825. The Burmese left the commander Mingimaha Tilwa in charge of the area who appointed Jogeswar Singha as the new puppet King in 1821 in Jorhat. Later when the deposed king Chandrakanta Singha tried to fight back, Bagyidaw (1819 – 1837), the seventh King of Burma sent the greatest of his generals Mingimaha Bandula with 20,000 troops (including 10,000 Kamti Shan and Kachin levies who were chieftains of Mongkawng and Hukawng) who defeated Chandrakanta Singha at Mahgarh near Jorhat and reestablished Burmese authority in Assam. The defeat of Chandrakanta on 12 June 1822 marks the start of the Burmese rule in Assam. and Burmese commander Mingimaha Tilwa was made the king. Maha Bandula then returned to Ava in Myanmar.

Under British Empire

In 1885, a narrow-gauge railway, Jorehaut Provincial Railway, became operational. In time, this contributed to the rapid growth of the tea industry around the whole region.
