History

The Myanglung, along with the Tehrathum, were annexed into the unified Nepal by Prince Bahadur Shah in 1780s. Earlier it was a province of Pallo Kiraat. A story behind the naming of the place is popularly recited in the area. There was a chautari under a big tree (वरको रूख). Two porters who had stopped on the chautari were amazed when their cooking pot fell down from the fireplace after an unusual shaking. That made a "Myang lung" sound which they gave to the place as a good name. A temple is standing there that carries a history of the ancient chautari. In Limbu language, myang means cat and lung means stone. Myanglun was formed by the two Limbu language words.
