Barguna ({{lang-bn|বরগুনা}} Borguna) is a district in the division of Barisal, Bangladesh. [1] Barguna subdivision was established in 1969 and promoted to district in 28 February 1984.

Etymology

There is not enough strong proof of naming the district. Some historians say that timber traders of the northern region came here to buy timbers and waited for the favoring flow (Baro - Gone) to overcome and from there the name "Baro-Gana" was derived. Others say that it was named after a famous Rakhine resident of this district while some say that the name came from a bawali named "Barguna"[2]

History

Barguna district was in the Sundarban area. In the evolution of time, people started clearing the forest by cutting down the trees and started to live here. Wood merchants used to come here to collect woods from the forest.

In the 14th century, the whole southern region was under Bakerganj. In the middle of the eighteenth century, the leader of East Bengal was Agabak Khan. His land ownership was in the Bakla Chandradip. Patuakhali and Barisal were called Bakla Chandradip. During the British Empire, for the administration of governance, the British government created Bakerganj district in the name of Agabak Khan. They established Patuakhali as a subdivision in 1871 for administrative purposes. There were five thanas in the Patuakhali subdivision. They were Patuakhali, Mirzaganj, Gulistan, Bauhaphul and Galachipa. At that time, Barguna was under Gulisakhali Police Station. In the later part of the century, Duma, Patharghata, Barguna, Betagi and Khepupara thana were formed for administrative reason. To control the area from pirates, a temporary police outpost in Phuljhori was constructed in the early 19th century on the bank of the Bichhali river. In 1904, a permanent police station was established in Barguna. In the meantime, human population started to grow and the Barguna police station area began to expand. In 1969, Patuakhali was established as a district and the Barguna was established as a subdivision. It was formed with Patharghata and Bamna thanas of Pashara, Amtali, Barguna, Betagi and Pirojpur. Then the subdivision was upgraded to district in 28 February 1984.[3]
