Nongstoin is the headquarters of West Khasi Hills district in the state of Meghalaya in India. Nongstoin lies about 93 km from Shillong. Nongstoin in Meghalaya is famous for a very unique stone which has natural embroidery colour in itself. The stone is found only here.
The first saw mill of Meghalaya was established here and hence it became the capital of log works, which was later banned by the honourable Supreme Court of India. In January 2006, Pope Benedict XVI erected a diocese in Nongstoin, covering the West Khasi Hills district.
