The history of Lulung is intertwined with the history of Mayurbhanj, a region that was once a princely state ruled by the Bhanja dynasty. While Lulung itself doesn't have a documented history of grand battles or royal decrees, its significance lies in its natural resources and its role as a gateway to the dense forests of Simlipal. The local tribes have inhabited this area for centuries, their lives deeply connected to the forest and its resources. Over time, Lulung has evolved from a remote forest outpost to a budding eco-tourism destination, attracting visitors who seek to experience the untouched beauty of Odisha's wilderness. The region's history is reflected in the traditions and culture of the local communities.
