Nilphamari District, Administrative district in Rangpur Division, Bangladesh
Nilphamari District spans 1,580 square kilometers across northern Bangladesh, bordered by India's Cooch Behar district and intersected by the Tista and Jamuneshwari rivers.
The district emerged from its status as a subdivision of Rangpur District in 1984, following a history of British colonial administration and indigo cultivation establishments.
The district name originates from the extensive indigo farms established two centuries ago, reflecting the agricultural heritage that shaped the regional identity.
The district contains three municipalities, sixty-two union councils, and 370 villages, with Saidpur Airport providing transportation links to the capital Dhaka.
Nilsagar pond, located 14 kilometers southwest of district headquarters, serves as a gathering place for the annual Baruni Snan festival.
