Wikipedia's Siraha District article contains no dedicated history section, so no ancient-to-present district history is documented there. Folklore documented on Wikipedia associates the Mithila folk hero Salhesh (Salahesh) with Pakariya gadh in present-day Siraha district, where the Danuwar community remembers him as the royal wrestler of King Kuleshwar Singh's kingdom. Thadi (Thadi Viswaspatti) is described as a very old border town and marketplace on the Nepal–India border and remains an agreed mutual-trade route with a dedicated customs office. Administratively, Siraha was formerly part of Sagarmatha Zone in the Eastern Development Region and is now one of the 77 districts of Madhesh Province (formerly Province No. 2).
