History
The district is home to one of the earliest archaeological sites in Bangladesh, the Wari-Bateshwar ruins. These ruins, dating to the early 2nd millennium BCE, represent one of the earliest urban centres in South Asia. Currency of the Mauryan form has been found here, suggesting the region was under the influence of the Mauryas. In the early medieval period, the region fell under the control of the Palas and later Senas, before being conquered like the rest of the Dhaka area by the Muslims, and became part of a province of the Delhi Sultanate administered from nearby Sonargaon.
