{{Main|Colonial Assam}}


===Ahom capital===
===Under Konbaung empire===
Jorhat was the last capital of the [[Ahom kingdom|Ahoms]] which lasted for at least 37 years. This town was settled near the Dichoi river, and a number of market were set near Dichoi, such as Phukanar Hat and Mashar Hat, thus this place came to be known as Jorhat (twin- market).
{{Main article|Konbaung dynasty}}
[[File:Statute of Maha Bandula.jpg|thumb|150px|[[Maha Bandula]] who led the [[Royal Burmese armed forces|Burmese forces]] to Jorhat]]
The town was occupied by the Burmese [[Konbaung dynasty]] between 1817 - 1825. The Burmese left the commander Mingimaha Tilwa in charge of the area who appointed [[Jogeswar Singha]] as the new puppet King in 1821 in Jorhat.<ref>"Meanwhile the Burmese king Badawpaya died in May 1819 leaving his grandson Bagidaw to the throne of Burma. Bagidawa desired that Assam be a permanent part of Burmese empire. Hence in 1821 Tilwa who had since returned to Burma was sent back to reclaim Assam. Tilwa occupied places like Jorhat and set up Jogeshwar Singha as the new King of Assam. With this the Burmese became the de facto ruler of the country."{{harvcol|Nag|2018|pp=13–14}}</ref> Later when the deposed king [[Chandrakanta Singha]] tried to fight back, [[Bagyidaw]] (1819 – 1837), the seventh King of Burma sent the greatest of his generals [[Maha Bandula|Mingimaha Bandula]] with 20,000 troops<ref name="harvcol|Nag|2018|pp=13–14">{{harvcol|Nag|2018|pp=13–14}}</ref> (including 10,000 [[Khamti people|Kamti]] [[Shan States|Shan]] and [[Jingpo people|Kachin]] [[Feudal levies|levies]] who were chieftains of [[Mongkawng]] and [[Hukawng Valley|Hukawng]])  who defeated Chandrakanta Singha at Mahgarh near Jorhat and reestablished Burmese authority in Assam. The defeat of Chandrakanta on 12 June 1822 marks the start of the Burmese rule in Assam.<ref>"When the deposed king Chandra kanta tried to fight back Bagidaw sent the greatest of his generals Mingimaha Bandula to reestablish Burmese authority in Assam. The defeat of Chandrakanta on June 12, 1822 marked the end of Ahom rule in Assam."{{harvcol|Nag|2018|p=14}}</ref> and Burmese commander Mingimaha  Tilwa was made the king. Maha Bandula then returned to [[Inwa|Ava]] in [[Burma|Myanmar]].


This place attained importance during the time of [[Moamoria rebellion]], with [[Purnananda Burhagohain|Purnananda Burhagohain's]] encampment at Dichoi fort when [[Rangpur, Assam|Rangpur]] was under rebels control. Here he raised a rampart to fight against the rebels which came to known Bibudhi Garh. In 1794, the capital was shifted to this place. It remained as the capital even during the period of restoration in the reign of [[Purandar Singha]].
===Under British Empire===
In 1885, a narrow-gauge railway, [[Jorehaut Provincial Railway]], became operational. In time, this contributed to the rapid growth of the tea industry around the whole region.


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.

{{Main article|Colonial Assam}}
The British force under the stewardship of David Scott and Captain Richard arrived in Jorhat in 1824.
Colonel  Alfred Richards led the  British forces against the Burmese and defeats them at [[Rangpur, Assam|Rangpur]].


After the defeat of the Burmese in the [[First Anglo-Burmese War]], the British reinstalled the Ahom king [[Purandar Singha]].<ref name="harvcol|Nag|2018|pp=13–14">{{harvcol|Nag|2018|pp=13–14}}</ref> Finally in 1840, British deposed Purandar Singha and it marked the start of British rule in Assam.

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.
