Pakur district, Administrative district in Santhal Pargana division, India.

The Pakur district extends across 686 square kilometers of varied terrain, from the Rajmahal Hills in the west to flat lands in the east.

The district emerged from the Sahibganj district in 1994 when the Pakur sub-division was separated to form an independent administrative territory.

The region maintains strong tribal influences through the Santhal community, who speak Santali and practice traditional customs alongside Hindu and Muslim populations.

The district comprises six development blocks including Pakur, Maheshpur, Hiranpur, Littipara, Amrapara, and Pakuria, each with specific administrative functions.

The district generates substantial revenue through black stone mining operations, supplying stone chips throughout India from its mineral-rich quarries.
