Lohaghat (Kumaoni: Loghāt) is a town and a nagar palika in Champawat district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.

[citation needed] Lohaghat and its surrounding region was earlier known as Sui, and the town has been a place of prominence since the rule of Katyuri kings.

The Khasia chiefs subsequently unified under a Raut king of Damkot thus increasing problems for Brahmadev, who married off his daughter to prince Somchand, bestowing his principality upon him as dowry.

Lohaghat came under the control of the East India Company following the defeat of Gurkhas in Anglo-Nepal War of 1814 and the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816.

However, a local rebellion of 1846 resulted in the removal of military camp from Lohaghat and the troops were transferred back to Hawalbagh until the establishment of another permanent Cantonment at Ranikhet.

[6] When India became independent in 1947, Lohaghat was a pargana in the Champawat tehsil of Almora district of Uttar Pradesh.

[9] Lohaghat is located at 29°25′N 80°06′E / 29.42°N 80.10°E / 29.42; 80.10 at an elevation of 1,788 metres (5,866 ft) above the mean sea level,[10] and is spread over an area of 4.5 square kilometres (1.7 sq mi).
