The district was formed on September 1, 1972, when authorities split the former Kangra district into three separate administrative zones. This reorganization created a new administrative unit in the region.

The district connects to the national railway network and has banks, hospitals, and schools serving residents and visitors. When exploring, plan for travel times and familiarize yourself with the local layout to move around comfortably.
A railway line runs about 14 kilometers from Nangal in Punjab into the district, established in 1991. This connection brought significant change to how people and goods move through the area.
