Meherpur District, Administrative district in Khulna Division, Bangladesh
Meherpur District spans 716 square kilometers in southwestern Bangladesh, bordered by West Bengal, India, and the districts of Kushtia and Chuadanga.
The district gained prominence on April 17, 1971, when the first provisional government of Bangladesh formed in Baidyanathtala village, now known as Mujibnagar.
The district preserves Bengali traditions through Baul songs, Dehatatva performances, Shashra melodies, and Pala musical gatherings throughout the year.
The district comprises three administrative subdivisions: Gangni Upazila, Meherpur Sadar Upazila, and Mujibnagar Upazila, with Meherpur town as its headquarters.
The district name originates from Meher Ali Shah, a 16th-century dervish who influenced the religious and social development of this region.
