It is near the edge of the Chota Nagpur plateau.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Dhalbhum was first written about when the [[British Army]] attacked the Dhalbhum and [[Ghatshila|Ghatsila]] region in 1767 jointly with Raja of Midnapore, after a previous abortive attempt in 1765. The campaign against Dhalbhum was led by John Fergusson, who launched an attack on Ghatsila from Jambuni, defeating the local king and destroying Narsingarh Fort. The King was taken captive and deported to [[Midnapur]]. His nephew Jagannath Dhal was placed on the throne on the condition that he would pay a yearly sum of Rs 55,000 to the British Government. But, Jagganath found it tough to cope with the demands, as a result of which he was replaced by Baikund Dhal. This did not deter Jagganath, who attacked King Baikund. Finally, he was reinstated on the condition that during the first year of his reign, he would pay tax of Rs 2000, in the second year Rs 3000 and in the third year Rs 4000. In 1800, rent of Rs 4, 267 was fixed, which was to be paid by the Kingdom. In 1845 the region was incorporated into the [[Singhbhum District]]. Following this, in accordance with 1848 Regulation Act, Singhbhum District was converted into a non-regulation district under the Governor of Bengal.<br /> <br /> ==Transport==<br /> Dhalbhumgarh Railway Station is managed by South Eastern Railways. National Highway 18 passes through Dhalbhumgarh. The closest airport is at [[Jamshedpur]], but [[Dhalbhumgarh Airport]] is planned.<br /> <br /> ==Language==<br /> The most common languages are Bengali, [[Santali language|Santhali]] and Hindi. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://web.archive.org/web/20120227055743/http://jamshedpur.nic.in/dhlblk.htm Dhalbhum Block, East Singhbhum]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cities and towns in East Singhbhum district]]<br /> <br /> {{Jharkhand-geo-stub}}</div>
