History
Lohaghat and its surrounding region was earlier known as Sui, and the town has been a place of prominence since the rule of Katyuri kings. A scion of the Katyuri dynasty had established his principality at Sui in the eighth century.[2] The rulers of Sui were feudatory to the Katyuris until the fragmentation of the Katyuri kingdom in the end of the 10th century, after which, they became feudatories of Doti.[3] Brahma Dev Katyuri, the last Katyuri governor of Sui was having trouble managing his areas due to several rebellions by local Khasia chiefs.

An army contingent was stationed also stationed here; barracks were built near the present hospital complex and a permanent camp was established at Lohaghat for which soldiers of the British Army were brought here from Hawalbagh in 1939.[7] Maneuvers used to be carried out at the 'Chandmari' situated near the present location of the government inter college. However, a local rebellion of 1846 resulted in the removal of military camp from Lohaghat and the troops were transferred back to Hawalbagh until the establishment of another permanent Cantonment at Ranikhet.[6]
When India became independent in 1947, Lohaghat was a pargana in the Champawat tehsil of
