Bagerhat District, Administrative district in Khulna Division, Bangladesh.
Bagerhat District spreads across 3,959 square kilometers of southwestern Bangladesh, bordered by multiple districts and reaching down to the Bay of Bengal.
The area gained prominence in the 15th century when Khan Jahan Ali established the city of Khalifatabad, constructing numerous mosques and administrative buildings throughout the region.
The district contains a population of 1.6 million people following diverse traditions, with Muslims representing 83 percent and Hindus forming a substantial minority community.
Nine administrative subdivisions called upazilas manage the district, with Bagerhat Sadar serving as the central hub for government services and commercial activities.
Located at just two meters above sea level, the district contains several major waterways including the Pasur, Madhumati, and Baleshwari rivers that support local fishing industries.
