Background of the district administration

The present Rajbari district was included in different districts at different times. In 1765, after the British gained power in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, the north-west Faridpur (part of present Rajbari district) region was included in the Rajshahi Estate. There is Snanmanch, Dolmanch in Belgachi under present Rajbari district as the symbol of manor of Natore.

Later it was once part of Jashore district. Rajbari was included in Faridpur district in the time of formation in 1811. In addition, the Present upazilas of Rajbari district were included to different districts in the past. Pangsha Thana was once part of Pabna district. In 1859, Pangsha and Baliakandi were brought under newly formed Kumarkhali subdivision. After the formation of goalanda subdivision in 1871, Pangsha and Rajbari were associated with this new subdivision and the subdivision head office was established in Rajbari.

In 1807, the head quarter of Dhaka Jalalpur was sifted to Faridpur and the Pangsha police station was included in faridpur. In 1850 when the district of Faridpur was formed by the collapse of Dhaka Jalalpur during Lord Dalhousie, Goalonda then went under Faridpur. Then Pangsha and Balikandi were under Pabna District.

In 1983, when the government transformed each Thana into a standard upgraded police station, after the administrative decentralization, Rajbari was declared a upgradable police station. Since 18th July 1983, the government issued the ordinance to convert all the upgraded Thana to the Upazila, resulting in the Rajbari Upazila. Finally, on 1 March 1984, all subdivisions were declared as district. Then it was transformed into Rajbari district.
