Dinajpur District, Administrative district in Rangpur Division, Bangladesh.
Description
Dinajpur District sits in Rangpur Division in northern Bangladesh, sharing a border with West Bengal, India to the west. The district contains several towns and villages spread across its territory.
History
The region was established as Ghoraghat District in 1786 and experienced major boundary changes between 1833 and 1870. Parts of it were reallocated to neighboring administrative areas during this period.
Culture
Folk music forms like Bhawaya performances and Kirtan religious songs remain active parts of local celebrations and gatherings today. These traditions connect people to their past and shape how communities come together.
Practical
The region is primarily agricultural, so visitors will see rice paddies across the landscape and farming activity throughout the seasons. Travel outside the monsoon season makes getting around easier and roads more passable.
Did you know?
Significant coal deposits lie beneath the district, with the Barapukuria mine being the most active extraction site. Few visitors realize that these underground resources play an important role in the region's economy.
