History

Around 1400 BC Early evidence of the use of iron slag, pot scales, and iron tools was discovered in the Chota Nagpur area. The Magadha Empire exercised indirect control of the territory and lasted until the reign of King Ashoka. Samudra Gupta's army crossed the area during an expedition to Deccan. In the 4th century AD, King Raja Pratap Rai of Nagvanshi chose Chutia as his capital, which is now in Ranchi. Only a few sites date from the 2nd century AD. With the expansion of the Mughal Empire, Ranchi County became one of the 24 counties in Jharkhand State in East India. The area was controlled by the Magadha Empire, then part of the Maurya Dynasty under Ashoka, and later part of the Gupta Empire. After the demise of the Gupta Empire, a legendary king named Panemkut established the Nagwansi Dynasty and controlled the Chota Nagpur Plateau for centuries.
