Morigaon district

Morigaon district spans 1,704 square kilometers along the Brahmaputra River, featuring fertile plains and three protected forest regions within its boundaries.

The region gained independent district status in 1989 when authorities separated it from Nagaon district to improve administrative efficiency and local governance.

The population distribution shows a mix of Islamic and Hindu communities, with Assamese speakers representing 73 percent of the district residents.

Agriculture forms the foundation of the local economy, with ninety percent of the population involved in farming activities across the fertile river plains.

The district contains Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, which maintains a dense population of one-horned rhinoceros within its protected boundaries.
