Dhaka Division, Bangladesh


There is no enough evidence about the origin of the name of Dhaka. Some of the common opinions are as follows: a) once the area was covered with a lot of Diaper phudosa trees, b) On the day of the inauguration of the mayor of the capital, drum was playing on the order of Islam Kha, c) a commonplace language named “Dhakabhasa” was very common in the region, d) Dacca is mentioned as an observatory center in Rajtarangi. Mr Jowao-d-Barrows mentioned the region as an important place at his atlas. In 1610 Islam Khan transferred the capital from Rajamahal to Dacca and named Jahangirnagar after the then Mughal emperor Jahangir. In the pre- Mughal era Dacca was an important local trade center because of the location of riverside. It was a rich production Center also. The cotton based fabrics named “Moslin” was then very popular around the world. It exported with high volume to the other part of the world.
