This region is mentioned as [[Kajangala]] in different ancient literatures specially in Buddhist literatures.
It is mentioned that the Chinese monk-traveller [[Xuanzang]] (Hiuen Tsang) travelled from Champa (recent [[Bhagalpur]]) to Kajangala and then proceeded to [[Pundravardhana]] (recent [[Bangladesh]]) in the 7th century AD. He says that the northern limit of its territory (means [[Sahebganj]]) was not very far from the [[Ganges]]. The forests to the south had plenty of [[elephant]]s. The people were straight forward, talented and devoted to education.<ref name = "Roy">Roy, Niharranjan, ''Bangalir Itihas, Adi Parba'', {{in lang|bn}}, first published 1972, reprint 2005, pp.
In the system of [[Permanent Settlement]], British encourage [[Sauria Paharia people|paharia]] of [[Rajmahal hills]] to practice settled agriculture but they refused to cut trees. Then British officials attracted attention to Santals who were ready to clear the forests for settled agriculture. In 1832, a large number of area demarcated as [[Damin-i-koh]]. Santal from [[Cuttack]], [[Dhalbhum]], [[Birbhum]], [[Manbhum]], [[Hazaribagh]] migrated, clear forest tracts and started cultivating these lands as peasants. British collected tax from Santals as revenue. The imposition of taxes, exploitation by [[Zamindar]] and money lenders sparked Santal rebellion. The [[Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu]], two brothers organized and led Santal inhabitants for the [[Santal Revolt]] (Santal Hul) against the Britishers but were defeated.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jha|first=Amar Nath|title=Locating the Ancient History of Santal Parganas|date=2009|journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress|volume=70|pages=185–196|issn=2249-1937|jstor=44147668}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9T3zYvKVF98C&q=santhal&pg=PA57|title=This is Our Homeland: A Collection of Essays on the Betrayal of Adivasi|year=2007|access-date= 26 August 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bMg-DAAAQBAJ&q=santhal+revolt&pg=PA329|title=History of India|isbn=9788173354984|access-date=26 August 2019|last1=Malik|first1=Dr Malti|year=1943}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://sahibganj.nic.in/en/History.html |title=History, Sahibganj,Jharkhand. |website=sahibganj.nic.in |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927165128/http://sahibganj.nic.in/en/History.html |archive-date=2011-09-27}} </ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wesanthals.tripod.com/id50.html|title = Freedom Struggle}}</ref> Their other siblings namely Chand Murmu, Bhairo Murmu, Phulo Murmu, Jhano Murmu also followed elder brothers leadership for fighting against injustice.
