Tangail District Information



atlas of tangail district


Tangail District, Bangladesh 



Tangail district is located in the central part of Bangladesh. There are various opinions about the naming of Tangail region. Renell showed the entire region as Atiya in his atlas published in 1778. Before 1866, there was no distinct local identity of the region. The name Tangail got familiarity when the sub- division headquarters transferred from Atiya to Tangail in 15 November 1870. The origin of the name Tangail is debatable by historians. Someone think that in the beginning of British era, Mr Tengue established a mill of Indigo between the Akurtakur and Shahbalia Mauzas and made narrow road (Aile) throughout the cultivable land. Civilian called it the Aile of Tengue Shaheb. The word Tangail came form it. Historian Khurram Hossain thinks that Saysta Khan rehabilitated Mughal civilians in the region to protect Freebooters. Their religious personalities of Mughal culture were called Tengaile in their own language. The word Tangail came from the Tengaile. 

The region was once under Kamrup ruled named “Vatir Mulluk’’. From 10Th to the beginning of 11Th century 120 years long the region was under Paul ruled. Historians think that Sultan Samsuddin Elias Shah (1301- 1322) firstly established Muslim ruled in this region. Kagmari Conference (1957), Sannyasi revolt (1850), Peasant revolt (1858) etc are the remarkable chapters of the region. In the British East India company period, Atiya was upgraded into a police station and in included in Mymensingh collectoriate. Almost all Mauza of current Tangail district was the Atiya police station. In 1869, the British government established Tan-Aile police station in Pardighulia under Atiya Mauza. This was then converted into Tangail. In Pakistan period in 08 March 1964, the then government decided to set up separate Tangail District and acquired 341 acres of land in 1968 and started building district headquarter. 01 December 1969, formerly Governor Mr S M Ahsan inaugurated Tangail District.
