Katghora Taluk was formed in 1912, becoming the center of administrative activities. After independence it was taken as one of the five subdivision of Bilaspur. At that time Korba was formed as sub-tehsil, and thereafter in 1980 Korba separated from Katghora to form a separate tehsil. In 1982, when Katghora was part of [[Madhya Pradesh]], it was given status of Nagar Palika. Makhan Lal Shukla was its first appointed president (from 28.8.1982 to 31.7.1985).<br />
