History

The early history of Mymensingh is little known. Due to its general isolation from the more populous centres of Bengal, this territory was always loosely-controlled by the state and was a frontier area dividing the more populous regions of Bengal from the Garo Hills. The region was part of the kingdom of Kamarupa, but after the breakup of Kamarupa, the region was conquered by the Bengal Sultanate. Between the 14th and 18th centuries, the lands of Mymensingh were generally ruled by political adventurers who came to Mymensingh after a defeat.

The temperature ranges from 12 to 33 °C, and the annual rainfall averages 2,174 mm. Mymensingh district is situated in northern Bangladesh, at the heart of Mymensingh Division.
