At a glance District Council, Est.-1885

The ancient name of Bakerganj and Patuakhali districts is Bakla-Chandradwip. In ancient times this region was also known as Bangala. The Bengali name has been changed to Bakla. The names of Bengal and Chandradwip are mentioned in the copperplate inscriptions of the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. In the fourteenth century, King Dhanujmardan established the kingdom of Chandradwip. Bakla was the capital of Chandradwip. During the Mughal period, Bakla Suba had a prosperous government in Bengal. In 1796, Bakla formed Bakerganj district with Chandradwip. During the reign of Nawab Alivardi Khan of Agabak, he was a faujdar of Chittagong and a powerful zamindar of the district. The district was named Bakerganj after him. In 1801 the district headquarters was shifted from Bakerganj to Barishal. The name Barishal is modern. Although the name of the district is Bakerganj, this region is well known as Barishal today.

Barishal is a traditional town surrounded by rivers and adorned with crops in Bangladesh. Rich in art and literature, this district has been known as a significant center of trade and commerce since the English period. At one time English and Portuguese merchants set foot in this town for the purpose of settlement. The merchants used to call the big salt stove Barishal. The name Barishal has gradually originated from this Barishal.
