- Dibrugarh is home to the oldest and largest tea research centers in the world, central to the global tea industry.
- The city was significantly reshaped by the Great Assam Earthquake of 1950, which caused massive subsidence and shifted the flow of the Brahmaputra River.
- It is the terminus of the Dibrugarh-Kanyakumari Vivek Express, which is the longest train route in India by both distance and duration.
