Moulvibazar District

Moulvibazar is an administrative district in Sylhet Division that covers a large area in northeastern Bangladesh. The territory is organized into several local government subdivisions that manage daily affairs and services across the region.

A small market founded in 1771 by Moulvi Syed Qudratullah formed the foundation of this settlement. The area later became a subdivision before gaining full district status in 1984.

The region is home to several communities, including Manipuri, Khasia, Tripura, and Halam peoples who have lived and worked here for generations. These groups shape daily life through their traditions, languages, and craft practices.

The region is divided into six administrative subdivisions, each with local government offices that serve the community. Knowing these areas helps visitors navigate and understand how the district functions as a whole.

The district contains Lawachara National Park and serves as the heart of Bangladesh's tea production with numerous tea estates dotting the landscape. These plantations have shaped both the land and local livelihoods for many decades.
