Rajbari District, Bangladesh
Rajbari district is located in the central region of Bangladesh. There was no doubt; Rajbari was named after
a Royal Palace. But it is not clear when the king and after which Rajbari was
named after. Some historians think that the region was named after the royal
palace of King Surjakumar Sen (1885). Almost all the region of the district was
made by sediment of mighty Padma River. Historical Records of the time of
permanent settlement (1793) show that the whole area was under the jessore
district. The area was included in Faridpur district when it was established in
1811. When Goalanda subdivision was formed in 1871, Pangsha and Rajbari were included
with it and headquarter was established at Rajbari. In 1883 Rajbari was
upgraded to a sub district and upgraded into a municipality in 1923. After the
liberation of Bangladesh, 01 March 1984 Rajbari was again upgraded into a
district. The Geo position of the district is between 23˚35’ to 23˚55’
