Kathmandu always has a history in it. Many kings ruled this place. Some great kings like Manadeva, Ansuvarma, Jayasthiti Malla, Prithivi Narayan Shah, Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah all ruled over it. In past Nepal was divided into different countries. Kahmandu  valley itself was divided into three different countries. They were Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Patan. Mallas were the kings of those countries. Prithivi Narayan Shah defeated them and he started to rule over them.
