History
Brahmanpara is an ancient town. During the British rule in the early nineteenth century, it was part of Kasba Thana. It was included in Burichang police station in 1954 for administrative convenience. Brahmanpara Outpost Thana was established in 1986 and became an administrative thana from Burichang in 1986. As a result of administrative decentralization, this upazila was upgraded to a full upazila on 7 November 1983. The low-lying land that is now observed from Mainamati in Burichang upazila of the district to the site of the river is extended to the Kalidah Sea during the Mughal period (probably during the reign of King Shah Alam). In the early seventeenth century, on the east bank of the Ghunghur river in this lowland, an Englishman named Neel Baniyara of the East India Company set up a trading post at a high place in the Balda (Sahebad) mouza, one kilometer south of the present upazila headquarters. A Kanyakut Brahmin accountant named Bara Nasi Kashi Munshi was appointed to keep accounts of the company. With the establishment of Brahman Mahasaya, the name of this place was recorded in the company's register as Brahmanpara. And since then the present name Brahmanpara was introduced.
