About Khulna district
Khulna District is a district of Bangladesh. It is located in the Khulna Division, bordered in the north by Jashore District and Narail District, in the south by the Bay of Bengal, in the east by Bagerhat District, and the west by Satkhira District. It was the first sub-division of the United Bengal Province established in 1842. On 1 June 1882, by notification of the official gazette published from Kolkata, Khulna and Bagerhat sub-division of Jashore district and Satkhira sub-division of 24 Parganas district together formed the new district of Khulna.
History
Khulna saw its rise faster than any other area of Bangladesh due to its geographical and economic importance. Also, settlements dating back to 800-900 CE have been found in Rezakpur village in Khulna's Paikgachha Upazila. Muslim rule established itself in Khulna during the 14th century. The saint Khan Jahan Ali obtained a jagir that encompassed the present-day district. In the 16th century, Maharaja Pratapaditya ruled the present Khulna, Bagerhat and Satkhira districts before being defeated by the Mughal Muslim rulers. The region then became a significant part of the Khalifatabad.
