It is located in the southern part of the city and is surrounded by Ballygunge and Kasba in the north, Haltu in the east, Jadavpur/Garia in the south and the Lake Gardens and Jodhpur Park areas in the west. It has a Postal Index Number (PIN) code of 700 031. The locality is sometimes referred to as the middle class and currently growing very well off upper-middle-class people's locality in South Kolkata. Though it is surrounded by its rich and famous areas, over the years it still remains primarily a nice upper-middle-class neighbourhood. Apart from its critical location in South Kolkata/Calcutta, it is also a place inhabited by prominent people with strong social, artistic and cultural background. The place has got homes of many celebrities and up coming artists, social workers, thinkers, entrepreneurs and visionaries who reside in Kolkata and some outside India. The two most important landmarks that signify this locality are the Dhakuria railway station, its bus terminal and the Gariahat Road (South). EtymologyThe word Dhakuria is from the word 'Dhaakur' (in Bengali: 'ঢাকুর') which means lakes, ponds. Previously, this area had many lakes. Others say, Dhakuria is also name of a place in East Pakistan (now: Bangladesh). Peoples of East Pakistan who were migrated here and lived here. In memory of their old living place they were called the same name for this place. HistoryThe history of Dhakuria stretches back at least two hundred years to early 1800s. Even after large scale modernization in the last decade involving demolition of older homes and buildings, there are several buildings that still exist today that predate 1900. The rapid population growth of Dhakuria, similar to rest of the City of Kolkata, can be traced back to the late fifties. At that time the southern city limits were up to Ballygunge Lake areas (now known as Golpark). The areas beyond the Eastern railway tracks at Golpark started developing with large numbers of people building up their homes there. The area was very different from the neighbouring Ballygunge. While Ballygunge dotted the homes of the rich, wide tree lined roads (at Golpark, Southern Avenue), Dhakuria was marked with comparatively narrow lanes and bylanes. The nomenclature of most of the sub localities of this area bear the mark of age old family dominances viz. Roypara, Bannerjeepara, Daspara, Ghoshpara, Mukherjeepara, Biswaspara, Naskarpara etc. The Pakrashi’s were amongst the first few families who came and started residing here since early 1820s. The Dhakuria Kalibari was founded by the Pakrashi family only. By early sixties, neighboring Jodhpur Park, which was earlier a sparsely populated area, had become a favorite destination for several upscale single family residential home development projects. With the introduction of Dakshinapan, a multi-stage shopping mall and one of the first of its kind in Kolkata, in Jodhpur Park but just next to Dhakuria boundary in early 80s, the area started getting an upmarket look. Since then, Dhakuria's population is swelling with well educated, middle-class people because of its good neighbourhood and schools, low crime rate and proximity to other city amenities. The area is spread over 3 wards of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, namely Ward No. 91 ( Councillor- Sri Dipankar Dey), Ward No. 92 (Councillor- Smt. Madhuchanda Deb)and Ward No. 105 (Councillor- Sri Tarun Mondal). Dhakuria is currently under Kasba Assembly Territory ( MLA- Janab Javed Ahmed Khan)and under South Kolkata Parliamentary Constituency (MP- Sri Subrata Bakshi). With time Dhakuria has become one of the prominent locations of South Kolkata. Educational institutions
