Sandwip Upazila, Administrative division in Chattogram District, Bangladesh

Sandwip Upazila spans across 762 square kilometers, incorporating the main Sandwip Island and Urir Char in the Bay of Bengal.

The region transformed from a thana to an upazila status in 1984, following centuries of governance under various rulers including Portuguese pirates and Mughal administrators.

The division contains 295 mosques and numerous educational institutions, reflecting the strong influence of Islamic traditions in the local community.

Transportation within the upazila operates through 26 kilometers of paved roads and 185 kilometers of waterways connecting different settlements.

The area maintains a female literacy rate of 52.1 percent, surpassing the male literacy rate of 50.7 percent, contrary to typical patterns in Bangladesh.
