Jamtara district, Administrative district in Santhal Pargana division, India.
The district encompasses agricultural lands and forests across an area situated between 23 degrees north and 86 degrees east coordinates in Jharkhand state.
The district formed its current administrative boundaries in 2000 when Jharkhand separated from Bihar, establishing Jamtara town as its headquarters.
The Santal community maintains strong traditions through their distinct languages, including Santali, Khorta, and Bengali, alongside Hindi in daily communications.
Jamtara functions as a central point for trade and agricultural activities, connecting multiple surrounding districts including Godda, Deoghar, Dumka, and Pakur.
Chinese traveler Xuanzang documented his journey through this region during the 7th century, recording details about local inhabitants and their conditions.
