Wikipedia's Mugu District article contains no history section, so documented history is sparse. Rara Lake was incorporated into Rara National Park when the park was established in 1976, and the villages of Chapra and Rara were resettled to Nepalgunj the same year. The lake and its wetlands were declared a Ramsar site in September 2007. Under the 2015 constitution, the district's old village development committees were discontinued and replaced in March 2017 by four local units: Chhayanath Rara Municipality, Mugum Karmarong, Soru and Khatyad rural municipalities.
