Initially, some part of the forest was owned by the princely estate of the Tehri Garhwal Dynasty. Part of the dense jungle was cleared to minimize the influence of Rohilla invaders, but Raja of Tehri renounced some part of this jungle from his princely estate to the British East India Company to banish the Gorkhas from his territory.

Until early 1860, Boksas the tribal community from the Teri region were settled here & doing farming, but by the introduction of British Rule, they were stopped from doing farming & have to vacate the area. In 1868, the British Forest Department came into existence as a first step in protecting this area.

In the 1930s authorities came up with a plan of demarcation of the area & Jim Corbett assisted him in same & later this park was renamed Jim Corbett National Park in the year 1955-56 from Ramganga National Park which was renamed in 1954-55 from Hailey National Park.
