The '''Naga Hills District''' was a former district of the [[Assam]] province of [[British India]]. Located in the [[Naga Hills]], it was mainly inhabited by the [[Naga people|Naga tribes]]. The area is now part of the [[Nagaland]] state.

== History ==

===British colonial rule===
The Naga Hills district was created in 1866 by the Government of British India. Its headquarters were located at Samaguting.<ref name="Inato_cultural">{{cite book | title = A re-discovery and re-building of Naga cultural values | author = Inato Yekheto Shikhu | publisher = Daya Books | year = 2007 | isbn = 978-81-89233-55-6 | pages = 53–55 }}</ref>

In 1875, the [[Lotha Naga]] region was conquered and annexed to the district. An administrative center was established at [[Wokha]]; this center was shifted to [[Kohima]] in 1879. In 1889, the [[Ao Naga|Ao]] region was fully annexed to the Naga Hills District as a subdivision.

In 1912, the Naga Hills District was made part of the [[Assam Province]]. The [[Government of India Act 1919]] declared the Naga Hills District as a "Backward Tract". The area was to be treated as an entity separate from the [[British Indian Empire]].<ref name="Inato_cultural"/>

In the early 1930s, some of the tribals in the region rebelled against the British rule under the leadership of [[Haipou Jadonang]] and [[Rani Gaidinliu]]. As per the [[Government of India Act 1935]], the area was made an "Excluded Area", administered by the [[Governor of Assam]]. The Deputy Commissioner of the district, CR Pawsney, established the Naga Hills District Tribal Council in 1945, which later evolved into the [[Naga National Council]] in the 1945.<ref name="Inato_cultural"/>

===Post India independence & attaining statehood===
Under the leadership of [[Angami Zapu Phizo|A. Z. Phizo]], the Naga National Council unsuccessfully led a secessionist movement. When the [[Constitution of India]] was first released in 1950, the Naga Hills District was placed in "Part A" category of tribal districts as per the Sixth Schedule. The Part A areas were supposed to be governed by the Government of Assam in collaboration with the Autonomous District Councils. However, the Naga leaders refused this scheme.<ref name="BDatta_reorg">{{cite book | title = Reorganization of North-East India since 1947 | author = B. Datta-Ray, S. P.
