On December 1, 1963, Nagaland was formally recognized as a separate state with Kohima being declared as its capital and became the 16th state of the country.
Prior to this, leaders of the north-eastern state and the central government reached an agreement to create a separate region of the Naga Hills. The State of Nagaland Act, 1962, was thus enacted by the Parliament to give Nagaland statehood.
