About West Garo Hills

History:

Garo Hills was divided into two districts in October 1976, the West Garo Hills and the East Garo Hills. The former West Gallo Hills district was further divided into two administrative districts, West Gallo Hills and South Gallo Hills, in June 1992. Garo's early history is a mystery. Allied with Koches, Chutiyas, Kacharis and Meches, the Garo ancestors came from the northwest. Another tradition that supports this theory claims that the Garo are descendants of their ancestors.
