    History

    Historically, Samsing was primarily inhabited by indigenous communities. Its transformation began with the establishment of tea gardens during the British colonial era. The fertile land and favorable climate made it ideal for tea cultivation, leading to the development of numerous tea estates in the region. Over time, Samsing evolved from a small village into a significant tea-producing area, contributing to the local economy. In recent years, with its scenic beauty being discovered, tourism has flourished, providing an additional source of income and driving infrastructural development.
