About Jim Corbett

About Jim Corbett

One of the oldest national parks in India, Corbett National Park was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park. Prior to its formation, the park was the private property of Tehri Garhwal princely state. The Raja of Tehri ceded a part of the region to the East India Company in exchange for their assistance to remove Gurkhas. It was also the territory of Boksas, a tribe from the Terai who used to grow crops, but in 1860 they were ousted by the British.

The park has gone through many name changes too, and so is its area. In 1954-55, its name was changed from Hailey National Park to Ramganga National Park and was again renamed in 1955-56 as Corbett National Park. The current name of the park - Corbett National Park was made in the honor of a well-known author and wildlife conservationist, Jim Corbett, who also played a key role in its establishment.
