History

{{main article|History of Kirat}}

The name Morang is derived from the name of the Kirat King Mawrong Mung Hang, who established the Morang Kingdom in the beginning of seventh century. His capital and fort was at Rongli, present day Rangeli. Morang was then annexed to greater Kirat by King Uba Hang in 849 CE and ruled until 1584 CE when Rai King Sanïgla Ing made Morang independent and ruled from Varatappa situated east of modern Bijaypur. The Ing Dynasty, the Sen dynasty and then the Hangbang dynasty ruled Morang until 1774 CE. The Morang name fell from use after the annexation of all the Kingdoms of Kirat, including Morang, by King Prithivi Narayan Shah of Gorkha. The last King of Morang was Budhhi Karna Raya Hangbang, who ruled from Bijaypur near Dharan.

The name Morang came into use again after the shah kings divided the country into administrative districts and Morang was named after the old Morang Kingdom.

A large amount of the forest was cleared in the last century, and in the process, many settlers migrated to the district from the hills and India. The Morang plains are one of the most culturally diverse regions in Nepal.
