Sherpur District, Administrative district in Northern Bangladesh.
Description
Sherpur District is an administrative division in northern Bangladesh composed of five subdivisions that together form its administrative structure. The terrain varies from flat lands in the southern areas to hilly regions that rise toward the northeast and the Indian border.
History
The region was originally known as Gara Jaripara and took its present name during the Nawabi period after a local landholder named Sher Ali Gazi. It became a separate administrative division in 1984.
Culture
Local music traditions like Bhatiyali, Jarigan, and Sarigan songs remain part of everyday celebrations and community moments throughout the region.
Practical
The district is divided into five subdivisions, with Sherpur Sadar being the largest and central administrative hub. Visitors navigate best by keeping the varied geography in mind: flat areas in the south offer easier travel, while northern hills require more challenging routes.
Did you know?
An earthquake in 1897 permanently changed the course of the Brahmaputra River and reshaped the entire landscape of the region. This event remains a rare example of how a single natural occurrence transformed the physical geography across such a large area.
