Chapai Nawabganj

Chapai Nawabganj District spans 1,702 square kilometers of fertile plains with rivers, small ponds, and water reservoirs across northwestern Bangladesh.

The district, established in 1984, originated from the ancient Gour capital of Bengal at the confluence of Mahananda and Ganges rivers.

The district population includes Muslims, Hindus, and ethnic communities such as Oraon and Santal, who maintain traditional Gambhira folk songs.

The region maintains bus services, railroad connections, and river routes linking major towns, while agriculture provides employment for 57 percent of residents.

Mango cultivation forms the agricultural backbone of Shibganj, Bholahat, and Gomostapur upazilas, making the district a central production area in Bangladesh.
