It is not clear when the village was established, but a few official document states that the village was established in the 16th century. It is believed that due to the large population of ''Kal Gaach'' ([[Banana tree]]), the name has become Kalgachia (meaning ''place where banana trees are found''). The name of the village, east of the settlement of the indigenous Mia was called ''klitapara''. Old Kalgachia village is divided in 1927 into modern Kalgachia and Dimapur. | It is not clear when the village was established, but a few official document states that the village was established in the 16th century.
