Dima Hasao district is a district in the Indian state of Assam. As of 2011, it was the least populous district of Assam. Dima Hasao district is one of the hill districts of Assam. Haflong, the district headquarters, is the only hill station in the state.  Haflong is a very famous tourist destination, which is also called Switzerland of the North-East. Earlier Dima Hasao was called North Cachar Hills District. The inhabitants of the present-day Dima Hasao district belonged to Mongolian groups who had begun to live in the mountainous areas and who held on to their culture, traditions and land rights from the beginning.  The present North Cachar Hills district was annexed to the old Cachar district with Asalu as its only police post. Then in 1880, this part was upgraded into a sub-division with its headquarters at Gunjang under Cachar district. Then, in the year 1895 the headquarters was shifted to Haflong area. Since that time, Haflong has continued to have the status of headquarters.
