History
Aijal, or more correctly AIZAWL had always been a very favourite village site, but was unoccupied when, in the spring of 1890 Mr. Dally of the Assam Police, arrived there with 400 men of the Silchar Military Police battalion, to co-operate with a column of troops under Col. Skinner, which was struggling down the valley of the Dhaleswari river to punish Lianphunga for raiding the Chittagong Hill Tracts.The rising which began in September 1890, with the murder of Mr. Browne, the first Political Officer and attacks upon the Aizawl and Changsil Posts, was put down by Mr. Mc Cabe.
Peace was restored by the spring of 1891 and from the date expansion of Aizawl began.
