Kumaon is one of the administrative divisions of Uttaranchal, India. It includes the districts of Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, and Udham Singh Nagar. It is bounded on the north by Tibet, on the east by Nepal, on the south by the state of Uttar Pradesh, and on the west by the Garhwal region.It is believed that this region was called KURMANCHAL in ancient times. It is believed that KURMA the second incarnation of Lord Vishnu stood for three years in mountain 'KURMA' located near Champawat District of Uttaranchal. The locals believe that the imprint of the Tortoise feet are still existing. Since then this place was called KURMA + ANCHAL which literately means Region or Zone or Place of Tortoise. This gradually got corrupted and the Champawat region was called KUMAON. After CHAND Rajas of Champawat captured and anexed more and more territories, their entire KInddom oi.e. present day Kumaon was called KUMAON. It was the CHAND Rajas who popularised this name.The people of Kumaon are known as Kumaonis. Important towns of Kumaon are Haldwani, Nainital, Rudrapur, Almora, Pithoragarh, Mukteshwar and Ranikhet. Nainital is the administrative center of Kumaon Division.Kumaon Hills have their headquarters at Nainital. Kumaon region constituted an old Rajput principality, which became extinct at the beginning of the 19th century. For some time region was ruled by Gorkhas. But People of Kumaon fought them bravely and with the help from British, threw them out. Later, the region was annexed by the British in 1815, and was governed for seventy years on the non-regulation system by three administrators, Mr. Traill, Mr J. H. Batten and Sir Henry Ramsay. In 1891 the division was composed of the three districts of Kumaon, Garhwal and the Tarai; but the two districts of Kumaon and the Tarai were subsequently redistributed and renamed after their headquarters, Nainital and Almora.
