Tongkham was established in 1949 by Zomgin, during the period following the Second World War when many communities across the region were experiencing social and geographical changes. The establishment of Tongkham represents another stage in the continuing history of Gangte settlement. Over the decades, the village has developed through the lives and contributions of its residents. Its identity is shaped not only by its founding but also by the memories, traditions, and experiences shared by generations of people. Tongkham thus holds a meaningful place within the wider story of Gangte communities.
Every village carries stories, memories, traditions and people worth remembering. Together, we keep these stories alive.
