1907 Map of Bengal with Sikkim

Manbhum District was one of the districts of the East India during the British Raj.[1] After India's independence, the district became a part of Bihar State. Upon re-organisation of the Indian states in the mid-1950s, present Purulia district was carved out of the district of Manbhum and became a part of the West Bengal; the remaining part of Manbhum district was kept with Bihar state and became part of Dhanbad district.[2]
