Kashipur was known as Govishan during the time of harsha (606-647 AD), when Yuan-Chwang (631-641 AD) visited this region. The ruins of the large settlement of those days are still to be seen near the city. Kashipur is named after Kashinath Adhikari, the founder of the township and one of the officers of the Chand rulers of Kumaon in the middle age.

This place was once very auspicious and revered as the last pilgrimage spot after the Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath Dhams. The ‘Skand Puran’ states that the water of this place is as holy as that of the sacred river Ganga.
