History
This area was under the Chutia kings until the Ahoms annexed it in 1523 A.D. At least four copper plates have been recovered from the region till date which were issued by Chutia kings between 14th and 15th century.[1] These include:
- One issued by king Satyanarayan in 1392 A.D. at Dhenukhana.
- One issued by king Satyanarayan originally in 1393 A.D. and revised by king Dharmanarayan in 1435 A.D.

- One by king Dhirnarayan in 1522 A.D.
Etymology
There is a lack of historical data to detail the source of the name Ghilamara. Based on legends and local oral folklore, the name Ghilamara is originated with the story that revolves around Ghila, a Chutia rebel leader. The Ahom army under Sukhaamphaa (1552–1603) defeated the Chutia rebels and killed Ghila in a paddy field which was named thereafter as Ghilamara field - which means Field where Ghila was killed.[2]
