History

Kenghkam was initially a tributary of the Konbaung dynasty. It was founded in 1811 and was located north of the sub-state of Kengtawng. The state was occupied by Möng Nai from 1870 to 1874 and again from 1878 to 1882, when it was annexed directly.{{cite web|url=http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/seasia/xshan.html|title=WHKMLA : History of the Shan States|date=18 May 2010|accessdate=21 December 2010}}
