Having potentiality of being the natural resort for the visitors with its exotic beauty and clean, pleasant atmosphere, this little town has come across many political, demographic and administrative changes.

This paper tries to discuss and display the urban growth and associated changes that Mirik has come through over the decades. The study is based on reliable Primary data through field observations and experiences along with secondary data through published and unpublished literature.
