Nawabganj, Dhaka
Nawabganj is an Upazilla of Dhaka, set at the shore of Ichamoti River. Settled at the 35-kilometer southwest of Dhaka city, Nawabganj is a confluence of history and development. Due to the demographic location of the area, it is one of the influential parts of Dhaka for trade and commerce.
Nawabganj is not a city of recent times. The name itself implies its rich history and its connection with the Nawabs of the Nawabi Period. The upazila is surrounded by three rivers. These are Ichamoti, Kaliganga, and Padma river. This unique feature makes it an economically viable junction for exchanging goods.
The Nawabganj Upazila is a merge of 14 union parishads. The recent consensus reveals that the area has 70,757 households and 318,811 people. As the area's strategic location is quite predominant, its political influence is something you can’t ignore. You will notice the influence of politics in commerce and day-to-day lives there.
The area became a hot topic of discussion when the day-trip culture suddenly became popular. To spend a day away from the hustling and bustling of Dhaka city, Dhaka-dwellers started to seek destinations adjacent to Dhaka where they could make a day out of it. The natural demeanor and historical significance made Mawabganj a tourist attraction.
Friends and families are now rushing to Nawabganj whenever they get a chance to connect with nature, breathe fresh oxygen, and enjoy the serenity of the Ichamoti rivers. Such a boost in tourism is uplifting trade and commerce and invigorating the fate of the economy of the Nawabganj Upazila.
