After the 1826, the British rule in Assam a number of changes were affected in the administrative line like the formation of districts. The Sivasagar district was created after the annexation of [[Purandar Sinha]]’s dominion of upper Assam in 1839. The Sadar headquarter of Sivasagar was transferred to Jorhat in 1912-13. The undivided old Sivasagar district comprised three subdivisions, namely Sivasagar, Jorhat and Golaghat. In 1983, the undivided Sivasagar district was reorganized and formed [[Jorhat district]]<ref name='Statoids'>{{cite web | url = http://www.statoids.com/yin.html | title = Districts of India | accessdate = 2011-10-11 | last = Law | first = Gwillim | date = 2011-09-25 | work = Statoids}}</ref> and Golaghat district.
