Chin State is named after the Chin people, an ethnic group native to both Chin State and neighboring Rakhine State. The region is largely mountainous and sparsely populated, with limited transportation infrastructure and low levels of economic development. According to a 2017 report, Chin State has Myanmar's highest poverty rate at 58%. The 2014 Myanmar Census indicates that Christians make up 91.5% of the state's population.
After Burma gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1948, the Chin Hills Special Division was established with its capital at Falam, which later moved to Hakha.
Following the February 2021 coup in Myanmar, civilian militias emerged nationwide to oppose the junta and protect local areas. In Chin State, the Chin National Army (CNA) and the Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA) were active, but struggled to effectively protect Chin townships. This led to the formation of the Chinland Defense Force (CDF) on April 4, 2021.
