Brahman Para Came into existence as a Thana in 1976

History and Background:

Brahmanpara upazila came into existence in 1976 as a thana. Nothing is definitely known about the origin of the upazila name. It is learnt that during British rule there lived an influential Brahmin at the present place of the upazila headquarters. He was an employee of the then East India Company. His ancestors developed a Brahmin section in the locality. There is a general belief that the upazila has been named Brahmanpara after the Brahmins.
