History
Singaling Hkamti was founded in 1820. It was a tributary state of the
King of Burma until 1887, when the

British rule after the fall of the
Konbaung dynasty. Its inhabitants were mostly
Shan people who were said to have come from
Hkamti Long. Before the time of rule by the British the state was often raided by the
Kachin people.
The state was integrated into
Burma after independence from the British in 1948.
