'''Mokokchung''' (Pron:/ˌməʊkɒkˈtʃʌŋ/) is a [[districts of Nagaland|district]] of [[Nagaland]] state in India. The town of [[Mokokchung]] is its headquarters. It is mainly occupied by the [[Ao Naga]] tribe who consider it their home.<ref name="nic-about"/> It is bounded by the state of [[Assam]] to its north, [[Wokha district]] to its west, [[Tuensang district|Tuensang]] and [[Longleng district]] to its east, and [[Zunheboto district]] to its south.

==History==
During the British Rule of India the Mokokchung area was part of the [[Naga Hills District, British India|Naga Hills District]] of Assam. The Mokokchung subdivision of Naga Hills District was created in 1889, and it remained so following [[partition of India|India independence]] in 1947. Naga Hills District remained as a district of Assam until 1957, when it and Tuensang Frontier Division of the [[North-East Frontier Agency]] (now Arunachal Pradesh) were joined to form the centrally governed Naga Hills Tuensang Area. At that point Mokokchung subdivision became a district, one of three alongside Kohima and Tuensang districts.

February 1961 saw the renaming of Naga Hills Tuensang Area to "Nagaland", and in December 1963 Nagaland [[Nagaland#Nagaland statehood|became the 16th state]] of India. Finally December 1973 saw the new districts of Zunheboto and Wokha carved out of Mokokchung, leaving the borders of Mokokchung district as they stand today.<ref name="2011handbook"/>{{rp|8}}
