Feni District

Feni District is an administrative region in southeastern Bangladesh, positioned between India's Tripura state and the neighboring districts of Noakhali and Chattogram. The area is divided into six administrative subdivisions, with Sonagazi being the largest and Parshuram the smallest of these units.

The area became a subdivision in 1976 and was elevated to full district status in 1984. The region played a notable role during the 1971 Liberation War, shaping its modern identity.

The district is predominantly Muslim, with Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian communities contributing to local life and traditions. Visitors experience a diverse society where different faiths coexist and influence everyday customs.

The district is shaped by three major waterways – the Feni River, Little Feni River, and Muhuri River – which define its landscape and support agriculture. Visitors should expect wet conditions and water-based transportation being an important part of local movement.

The district borders India and is shaped by river systems known for traditional fishing and boat-building practices. These waterways have long defined the local economy and way of life for generations.
