==History== Chatra was the "headquarters" of Ramgarh district in the 18th-19th century. The renowned reformer, [[Raja Rammohan Roy]], was ''sheristadar'' in Ramgarh district, in 1804–05, and used to function from both Ramgarh and Chatra. Subsequently, Ramgarh district became part of North-western Frontier Agency and Hazaribagh district came up. Chatra became a subdivision of Hazaribagh district in 1914. It became a full-fledged district in 1991.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://chatra.jharkhand.org.in/2010/05/history-of-chatra-district.html | title = The History of Chatra District | publisher = chatra.jharkhand.org | access-date = 17 January 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://chatra.nic.in/profile.htm|title=Profile|publisher=Chatra district website|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120215072758/http://chatra.nic.in/profile.htm|archive-date=2012-02-15}}</ref>
