== History ==
{{See also|Timeline of Jorhat}}

Jorhat ("jor" means twin and "hat" means market) means two hats or mandis- "Masorhaat" and "Sowkihat" which existed on the opposite banks of the river Bhugdoi. During the 18th century, Jorhat was the last capital of the [[Ahom Kingdom]], as a planned town under royal patronage. It is often spelt as "Jorehaut" during the British reign. In 1794, the Ahom King Gaurinath Singha shifted the capital from Sivasagar, erstwhile Rangpur to Jorhat. Many tanks were built around the capital city by the Ahom royalty such as Rajmao Pukhuri or Borpukhuri, Buragohain Pukhuri, Bolia Gohain Pukhuri, Kotoki Pukhuri and Mitha Pukhuri. This town was a flourishing and commercial metropolis but was destroyed by a series of Burmese invasions of Assam between 1817 and the arrival of the British force in 1824 under the stewardship of David Scott and Captain Richard.

From the very first decade of the [[British Raj|British rule]], revolutionaries like Gomdhar Konwar, Dhananjay Borgohain, Jeuram Dihingia Baruah , and Peuli Phukan emerged. The British system of administration came into vogue in the year 1839 with an established Police Thana. During the great Sepoy Mutiny, [[Maniram Dewan]] and Piyali Barua were publicly hanged here in 1858.

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

== Culture ==
Jorhat is vibrant and combines tradition and modernity. In 1896, [[Jorhat Theatre]] was established to perform cultural activities and dramas by some renowned people of the town. The Chandrakanta Handique Bhawan, the headquarters of [[Asam Sahitya Sabha]] was established in 1926. Jorhat has produced creative writers, historians and journalists. [[Birendra Kumar Bhattacharya]], the first Assamese to win India's highest literature award, the [[Jnanpith Award]], was from Jorhat.<ref>"Bhattacharya, Birendrakumar" in Amaresh Datta, ed., ''Encyclopaedia of Indian literature vol. 1'' (Sahitya Akademi, 1987), {{ISBN|978-81-260-1803-1}}, p. 482 ([https://books.google.com/books?id=ObFCT5_taSgC&printsec=frontcover#PPA482,M1 excerpt available] at [[Google Books]]).</ref>

== Media ==
The six daily newspapers published in Jorhat are - ''[[Dainik Janambhumi]]'', ''[[Amar Asom]]'', ''[[Dainik Agradoot]]'' and ''[[Asomiya Khobor]]'' in [[Assamese language|Assamese]], the ''[[Purbanchal Prohori]]'' in Hindi and ''[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]]'' in English.
