Rangpur Division, Administrative division in northern Bangladesh

This northern region spans 16,185 square kilometers and contains eight districts, including Dinajpur, Gaibandha, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, Nilphamari, Panchagarh, Rangpur, and Thakurgaon.

The division formed in 2010 through the redistribution of northern territories from Rajshahi Division, marking Bangladesh's seventh administrative zone with Rangpur city as its capital.

The population of 15.7 million includes Muslim and Hindu communities, with local traditions expressed through folk music performances and regional festivals across different districts.

The area maintains strong transportation connections through Saidpur Airport, multiple railway stations, and the N5 highway network linking major urban centers.

The Tista Barrage Project, extending 615 meters in Doani, represents Bangladesh's largest irrigation system, supporting the agricultural foundation of the region.
