The history of Uttaranchal can be divided into two basic categories, the history of the Garhwal region and the history of the Kumaon region.
Though, the regions share similar topographic features, yet the regions vary in terms of their history, ethnicity and culture. The regions which today are collectively termed as the Kumaon region, have a history which has revealed to later generations the presence of a number of settlements which date back to the Stone Age.
The province was formed as a result of amalgamation of 13 hilly districts of Northern India, on November 9th, 2000, when Uttaranchal became the 27th province of the Republic of India. Also known as Uttarakhand, which is today used as the official name of the province, the region was originally termed as Uttaranchal during its formation.
