In 1923, the headquarters of Northwest sub-division was shifted to the present site known as Tamenglong headquarters some 3 km away from Khunjao. Later the Manipur North West sub-division was renamed as Tamenglong Sub-Division. Tamenglong became a full-fledged district in 1969 and the first Deputy Commissioner was posted.
