The tea estate derives its name from the local village-“SHAKOMATO”. Per popular lore, the name SHAKOMATO traces its origin to a Japanese soldier, by the name Shakamata, who happened to be in this region during WW II when the British Army was in combat with the Japanese Royal Army on the far eastern borders of undivided INDIA. After the end of the War, Mr Shakamata chose to stay back thus bequeathing his name to the village SHAKOMATO
