It was created by the Act XXIV of 1839 from the &#039;[[Maliahs]]&#039; or Highlands, the tribal lands inhabited by the [[Khonds]] and the [[Sora people|Soras]]. The territory consists of the western part of Ganjam district. It was about five-twelfths of the district and had a total area of 3,500 square miles.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=Standing Information regarding the Official Administration of Madras Presidency|last=MaClean|first=C.

Most of the erstwhile Ganjam Hill Tracts Agency lie in the [[Srikakulam district]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]] and the [[Gajapati district|Gajapati]] and [[Ganjam district|Ganjam]] districts of [[Odisha]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> *[[Agencies of British India]]<br /> *[[Vizagapatam Hill Tracts Agency]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Madras Presidency]]<br /> [[Category:Ganjam district]]<br /> [[Category:History of Odisha]]</div>
