Narayanganj, Industrial port city in east-central Bangladesh
The city extends along both banks of the Sitalakhya River, forming a major textile manufacturing center with numerous jute mills and processing facilities.
Narayanganj received its name from Bicon Lal Pandey, who obtained the land from the British East India Company in 1766 after the Battle of Plassey.
The city contains multiple educational institutions, including colleges, libraries, and the historic Kadam Rasul shrine constructed in 1801 by Ghulam Muhammad.
Four railway stations connect the city to the capital Dhaka, while regular BRTC AC Bus services facilitate transportation between both urban centers.
The city earned the title 'Dundee of Bangladesh' due to its extensive jute processing industry, with a population growth from 241,393 in 2001 to 543,090 in 2011.
