Rangpur, Citrus × limonia, also known as lemandarin, is a hybrid between the mandarin orange and the lemon.

It is a citrus fruit with a very acidic taste and an orange peel and flesh.

Rangpur (pron: ˈræŋpʊə or ˈræŋgpʊə), one of the capitals of the Ahom kingdom, was established by the Swargadeo Rudra Singha in 1707 . It is currently a part of Sibsagar town. Many historical monuments of the Ahom era, the Talatal Ghar and Rang Ghar, are here.

Rangpur remained the capital during the most glorious period of the Ahom kingdom. The capital fell twice to rebels of the Moamoria rebellion. In the first instance, the rebels occupied the capital for a few months between 1769 and 1770, when the Swargadeo, Lakshmi Singha, was kept in captivity. In the second instance, the rebels occupied the capital in 1788 and held on to it till 1792, when Thomas Welsh of the East India Company removed them. Even though Rangpur came back to the control of the Ahom state, it lost its status as the capital to Jorhat, the last Ahom capital.
