Background of the district

The ancient history of Chuadanga district is almost unknown. The details of Greek historians and Ptolemy's map are estimated from the current Chuadanga district on the east side of the trend (and it may be Bhagirati). Approximately 4th century archaeological findings found in Jessore and Gopalganj districts, it is proved that the Ganges-Padma is very ancient on the southern bank of the Padma. So it is reasonable to believe that the present Chuadanga district is part of the ancient landmark. It is known from the copper plate that this state was spread from Comilla to far distant Orissa. There is no doubt that Chuadanga was included in the state. Then this region was known as Samatata or Vanga. It is believed that Chuadanga was once ruled by Shashanka. Chuadanga Sen was ruled by Vallal Sen (1160-1787). In 1281, Delhi's Sultan Ghiyasuddin defeated the Mughisuddin Tougari, the governor of the strong Bengal, and killed the entire Chuadanga including his whole nation. Until 1414, Chuadanga district was included in the rule of the Sultani. Chuadanga was later under their rule during the rule of the Shah period and the Habasi Sultan. In 1576, when Dawood Karrani was defeated and killed by the Mughal forces, Bengal came under Mughal rule. In 1695, Zamindar Shobha Singha of Madenipur and Rahim Khan, a Afghan sovereign, took arms against the Mughal king in southwest Bengal. They were able to chase the Mughal army from Chuadanga along with South-West Bengal.

Perhaps there was a secret place of rebels in the Forest Jungle Aquarium Chuadanga region. After defeating Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula on 23 June 1757 in Palasir area, the British East India Company was entitled to the full power of Bengal. The then King of the Nation, Krishna Chandra Roy, supported the English side in the battle of Palashi. In 1765, the company obtained the power of the Diwani government of Bengal in exchange for a revenue of 26 lakh rupees annually from Shah Alam from Mughal emperor. In 1769, Jacques Revere became Nadia's first supervisor. Nadia district was formed on 21 March 1787. During the East India Company, the Kushtia region along with Chuadanga was ruled by Rajshahi district. After the establishment of Pabna district in 1828 for the maintenance of law and order, the area was formed in Pabna district. Company rule ended when Queen Victoria took control of British India in 1858. In 1860, Faridah was divided into five subdivisions, due to which the river could be divided into five subdivisions, so that the tyrannical indigo planters could not oppress the landlords. On the eve of the 1971 war of independence, Kushtia district has gained the status of Meherpur subdivision, Kushtia subdivision and Chuadanga subdivision. Later, on 16 February 1984, it was upgraded to Chuadanga district. Chuadanga district consists of four upazilas of Chuadanga, Alamdanga, Damurhuda and Jiban Nagar.
