Jim Corbett National Park

On 8th August 1936, India’s first national park was established as Hailey National Park, named after the then Governor of the United Provinces, British India, Sir Malcolm Hailey.
The reserve area initially consisted of about 324 sq. km.
The British government had thought of establishing a game reserve as early as 1907 but it was only in 1936 that it came into fruition assisted by hunter-turned-conservationist Jim Corbett.
It is also Asia’s first national park.
Soon after the park was established, hunting, killing and capturing of mammals, reptiles and birds were prohibited.
It was renamed as Ramganga National Park in 1954-55 and again renamed as Corbett National Park in 1955-56.
Some areas of the park were earlier part of the princely state of Tehri Garhwal. It then passed onto the British and now forms a part of the state of Uttarakhand.
The park is now governed by the Uttarakhand state government.
