The place is located at the north-eastern fringe of the city and marks the limit of Kolkata District. Prominent places in Ultadanga are Telenga Bagan and Muchi Bazar. EtymologyUltadanga lay outside the Maratha Ditch, beyond Halsibagan, where the Sikh billionaire Umichand had a garden. It was land on the opposite bank (ulta in Bengali).[2] HistoryThe East India Company obtained from the Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar, in 1717, the right to rent from 38 villages surrounding their settlement. Of these 5 lay across the Hooghly in what is now Howrah district. The remaining 33 villages were on the Calcutta side. After the fall of Siraj-ud-daulah, the last independent Nawab of Bengal, it purchased these villages in 1758 from Mir Jafar, and reorganised them. These villages were known en-bloc as Dihi Panchannagram and Ultadanga was one of them. It was considered to be a suburb beyond the limits of the Maratha Ditch.[3][4][2] The name, Ulta Danga, comes from the original name of the place, Ulta Dingi, or a place where small boats which were colloquially called Dingis were made or repaired. It was a ghaat area, and chances are that this too would be on the banks of the Ganges at some point of time in history, before the river changed its course. In 1889, Maniktala, Ultadanga and Beliaghata became 'fringe area wards' of Kolkata Municipal Corporation.[5] GeographyPolice districtUltadanga police station is part of the Eastern Suburban division of Kolkata Police.
