Panchagarh District, Administrative district in northern Rangpur Division, Bangladesh
The district spans 1404 square kilometers across Bangladesh's northernmost region, bordered by India on three sides with various rivers flowing through its territory.
Originally part of Jalpaiguri district during British rule, Panchagarh transitioned to district status in 1984 after being part of Dinajpur district post-1947 partition.
The district population comprises 85 percent Muslims and 15 percent Hindus, with local traditions celebrated through regional festivals and community gatherings.
The district connects to major cities via regular bus services and includes a direct train connection to Dhaka, established in November 2018.
Five historical fortifications, known as garhs, define the district's landscape: Bhitar Garh, Hosain Garh, Mir Garh, Rajan Garh, and Deven Garh.
