Nilphamari District, Administrative district in Rangpur Division, Bangladesh
Nilphamari District is an administrative region in Rangpur Division spanning about 1,580 square kilometers in northern Bangladesh. Two rivers, the Tista and Jamuneshwari, flow through the area, and it shares a border with India's Cooch Behar district.
The district was established in 1984 as a separate administrative unit after being part of Rangpur District for many years. This separation came after decades of British colonial rule and the period when indigo plantations dominated the region.
The district's name comes from indigo farms that flourished here two centuries ago and shaped regional identity. This agricultural past remains visible in how local communities live and work today.
The area is organized into three municipalities that serve as main centers, along with sixty-two union councils covering many small villages. Saidpur Airport is the main transportation hub connecting the district to other parts of the country.
Nilsagar pond lies southwest of the district headquarters and holds special religious meaning during the annual Baruni Snan festival. Visitors come here to witness this traditional celebration, which combines ritual bathing with community gatherings.
