Jhalokati District, Administrative district in Barisal Division, Bangladesh.
Jhalokati District encompasses 758 square kilometers of land bordered by Barisal, Barguna, and Pirojpur districts, with numerous rivers crossing its territory.
The district, established in 1984, witnessed significant events during the 1971 Liberation War when Pakistani forces burned the town on April 27.
The district maintains 2,475 mosques and multiple Hindu temples, reflecting the religious composition of 90 percent Muslims and 9 percent Hindus.
Four administrative subdivisions make up the district: Jhalokati Sadar, Kathalia, Nalchity, and Rajapur, connected by regional roads and waterways.
The district earned the title 'second Kolkata' due to its commercial importance and the presence of European trading posts from Britain, Netherlands, and France.
