Hotel Kennelite, located near Jama Masjid of Sakchi, has an intriguing history. Originally, there existed an inn in this area, known as Sakchi inn, before it transformed into a hotel. According to local residents, this region was once a part of the Dhalbhumgarh princely state. Not only did the kings of Dhalbhumgarh frequent this place, but also the rulers of Saraikela, Rajkharsawan, and Mayurbhanj princely states would stay here during their travels. In its early years, the inn remained in good condition until the 1960s and 1970s, after which it gradually became a refuge for the abandoned. However, after a considerable period of time, the Jharkhand Tourism Development Corporation acquired the inn. Subsequently, in 2016, under the supervision of the Tourism Corporation, Hotel Kennelite was constructed. Interestingly, historical records indicate that on 2 January 1919, Lord Chelmsford, the Governor of Bengal, renamed Sakchi as Jamshedpur. This renaming event added another layer of significance to the area where Hotel Kennelite now stands, further enriching its cultural and historical context.<ref>{{Cite web |title=बालू से निकलता था सोना,पहाड़ बन गया मैदान, जानिए क्या है कहानी - know history of important places of jamshedpur jagran special |url=https://www.jagran.com/jharkhand/jamshedpur-know-history-of-important-places-of-jamshedpur-jagran-special-18675953.html |access-date=2024-06-15 |website=Jagran |language=hi}}</ref> |
