Political History
Suangdoh has always been under Guite rule. Among the Guites, the Suangdoh Chiefs are descendants of Thangpau, the third son of Inpipa Pu Vummang. Inpipa Pu Vummang is the 17th direct descendant of Pu Guite. From his capital city of choice, present-day Teddim, Pu Vummang ruled over 70 villages who paid him taxes.
Location
The village was originally located on a hilltop 30 or 40 kilometers from Singngat. To the east lies Singngat, to the southeast lies the famous Tuivel River and distant neighboring villages such as Mualzin, Tuiman, and Likhai, and to the west lies the hill range of Lungthul. In the early 1990s, the then Chief Mr Khamchinpau Guite decided to move the village to a place originally known as Hiangtui, as the new Guite Road could not pass through Suangdoh as it was situated on a hilltop. Thus, the village is now situated about 2 km from its original location, on a low-lying flat top hill adjoining Enpum. This new Suangdoh is now roughly 30 to 40 kilometers from its Tehsil, Singngat, 60 km from Churachandpur, and 89 km from Imphal. Today, the village has over 200 households, a PHSC, a Government High School and a Church-run Junior High School called Kaikhoen Academy. It is approximately 2 km long.
Nearby villages include Tuiveljang, Enpum, Chiangpi, Mongken, Lungchin, Lungthul, Pumlong, Tuilaakjang,etc. The rivers Tuivel, Tuilak, Tuivai, Zaupilui, Govomlui, and Enpailui flow around and inside Suangdoh.
Tuiveljang, Tuilakjang and Chiangpi were curved out of Suangdoh land, in other words, they are Machets.
