History of Jim Corbett
As already discussed, it was named Haley National Park when founded way back in 1936. William Malcolm Hailey was the governor of the United Provinces, and it was after him that it was named Hailey National Park. In the decade of the 50s, it was known as Ramganga. Later, the name was changed to Jim Corbett, who was a British writer and sportsperson.
Jim Corbett is also one of the oldest tiger reserves in the country. It has been ever expanding, and in 1991, a buffer zone was added, which helped it become one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in India. Animal killing has been strictly prohibited here since the 1930s, as not just the tigers, but tourists are not allowed to hunt down birds, reptiles, or any mammals for that matter.
