Chandpur District

Chandpur District is an administrative region in the Chattogram Division, situated between the Meghna River and neighboring districts. It comprises eight administrative subdivisions that form the framework for local governance and community organization.

This district was separated from an existing region to become independent in 1984, though its administrative roots extend back to 1878. The long arc of administrative development shows how governance structures have shifted and evolved over time.

Residents here keep alive local traditions through folk songs and performances that emerge during festivals and gatherings throughout the year. These musical forms of expression connect people to their heritage and are woven into the fabric of community life.

When exploring, keep in mind that the area consists of several decentralized subdivisions spread across different locations. Water transportation plays an important role in connecting these different parts, so understanding local waterways helps with navigation.

This area sits where several major rivers meet, making it a central point for fishing and water-based trade. This river geography has shaped how people live here for generations and continues to be central to daily activities and commerce.
