This area was a point of contention between the Bhutan King and the Cooch Kings. After the British interceded on the invitation of the Cooch King and captured the fort. The fort was formally handed over to the British on 11th November 1865 as part of the Treaty of Sinchula. The British restored the fort from its original bamboo wood structure to a stone structure.
