History of Limbuwan (Nepali: लिम्बुवानको ईतिहास) is characterized by the close interaction of Limbuwan with its neighbours independent and semi-independent rule characterized by autonomy for most of its time. Limbuwan and its history have never had much coverage in the government of Nepal's textbooks, in which the focus has been on the history of the Kathmandu Valley (also called the Nepal Valley or simply Nepal). Although Limbuwan is now part of Nepal, it was independent until AD 1774. The history of Limbuwan remains unknown to many of its people.
