The colony was established in 1994 following recognition by the government of Nagaland. According to a commemorative ‘silver jubilee book,’ some senior leaders of the residents of Zeliangrong village and plot holders from Zeloutou Sachu and Thekruvilie Sachu land had a joint meeting to establish a separate colony in the name and style 'Glory Land colony.' Thereafter, residents of Zeluotou Sachu and Thekruvilie Sachu areas consented to have a separate colony. Accordingly, the residents of the colony proposed to have the area as ‘Krusielie Sachu colony’ separate from the Zeliangrong village area. Late Zeloutou Sachu and late Thekruvilie Sachu each donated areas of land measuring 50 ft x 50 ft for ‘Krusielie Sachu colony,’ it stated. The chairman of the Nagaland Handloom & Handicraft Development Corporation Ltd. (NHHDCL), Maithou Krose attended the event. He congratulated the community for achieving a milestone in their journey. Krose lauded the colony's local bodies for the peace they maintain among themselves given that the colony is home to people of different religions. He urged them to coexist with one another in the same spirit of brotherhood. At the programme, where people from different communities had gathered, Krose sought to clarify ‘misconceptions behind the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN)’  that it was not the intention of the government to victimise anyone but rather to identify and register indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland and to check the influx of illegal immigrant into Nagaland. A family member of the Sachu clan at the programme congratulated the residents of the colony for the progress they had made over the year. A land which was once a paddy field is now a major part of the town and a home to many, the gathering was told.
