Habiganj District, Administrative district in Sylhet Division, Bangladesh
The district extends over 2,574 square kilometers between the rivers Kushiyara, Kalni, Khowai, Sutang, Korangi, and Barak in northeastern Bangladesh.
The region changed from a subdivision in 1874 to district status in 1984, following administrative shifts during the partition of British India in 1947.
The population includes Bengali Muslims, Hindus, and indigenous communities such as Khasia and Manipuri, who maintain their distinct traditions and practices.
Agriculture employs 61 percent of the population, while the district contains 19 colleges, 800 primary schools, and multiple educational institutions.
The Rashidpur gas field, discovered in the 1960s, stands as a major economic resource alongside numerous tea gardens spread across the territory.
