Lakshmipur District

Lakshmipur District is an administrative region in Chattogram Division that spreads across low-lying plains crossed by rivers and waterways. The landscape supports farming, fishing, and water-based transportation connecting communities throughout the territory.

The region was created in 1984 when the neighboring Noakhali District was divided into three separate administrative areas. This reorganization established the current boundaries and governance structure that continues today.

Local communities celebrate traditional Bengali festivals throughout the year, and people of different faiths—Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist—coexist and share daily life. This religious diversity shapes the character of neighborhoods and local gatherings across the district.

Visitors can travel by bus or boat since the region connects well to neighboring areas through established transport links. The dry months offer easier travel conditions, as roads are more accessible and water routes remain navigable.

The region has developed a dual economy combining rice farming and shrimp cultivation, with many farmers integrating both practices on the same land. This mixed approach maximizes productivity in the water-rich environment.
