Malda, Commercial municipality in West Bengal, India
English Bazar stretches along the western bank of the Mahananda River, functioning as the administrative center of the Malda district in West Bengal.
The British East India Company established silk factories in this location during 1676, transforming the settlement into a prominent trading center for colonial commerce.
The municipality maintains two distinct administrative zones, English Bazar and Old Malda, each contributing to the preservation of Bengali traditions and commercial practices.
Four railway stations connect the municipality to major cities, while National Highway 12 provides essential road access for both local and regional transportation.
The municipality houses a specialized sericultural research station that continues the centuries-old tradition of silk production in the region.
