How it is named:-
During the Mughal period there was a saint named Momenshah, after whom the region was named Momenshahi in the Middle Ages. In the sixteenth century, the independent Sultan of Bengal Syed Alauddin Hussain Shah formed a new kingdom in the region for his son Syed Nasir Uddin Nasrat Shah, hence the name Nasratshahi or Nasirabad. The name Nasirabad was changed to Mymensingh due to a mistake. Twenty tins of kerosene were booked at Nasirabad railway station on behalf of Barjanlal & Company. The goods went to Nasirabad railway station in Rajputana. There is a lot of suffering in this. Later, due to some confusion, the railway station was renamed Mymensingh. Since then, Mymensingh has been used instead of Nasirabad.
Date of district declaration:-
Mymensingh district was formed on 1 May 18 AD. The size of this district has changed from time to time. Tangail subdivision was separated from Mymensingh district in 1989 and Jamalpur subdivision was upgraded to a district in 1989. In 1984, Sherpur, Netrokona and Kishoreganj subdivisions were upgraded from Mymensingh district to separate districts.
