Barishal District, Administrative district in south-central Bangladesh
Barishal District spans across multiple waterways and fertile agricultural lands, encompassing ten administrative subdivisions called upazilas within the Barisal Division.
The British administration established Bakerganj district in 1797, later relocating its headquarters to Barishal in 1801 to enhance regional governance.
The district maintains a population of 2.57 million people as of 2022, with Islam representing 88.85 percent and Hinduism 10.71 percent of the inhabitants.
The University of Barisal, Sher-e-Bangla Medical College, and numerous educational institutions contribute to the district's literacy rate of 79.85 percent.
The district's extensive river network creates a natural irrigation system that supports rice cultivation, making it a primary agricultural center in Bangladesh.
