Jhenaidah District Introduction:

Nomination

In ancient times, the settlement of mangled cloth workers by Nabaganga river on the northwest of present-day Jhenaidah has been reported. At that time, businessmen from Kolkata, West Bengal, came to buy mussels for the collection of oyster pearls. At that time this place of getting the mussel was called jhonukdaha. At that time, people made money by collecting pearl from mussels and selling lime by making mills and selling them.

According to many, Jhinuk was interpreted in the regional language as Jhinai, Jhenai and Dahan meaning large water bodies and in Persian language, the village was called. In that sense, Jhinukdah used to mean the oyster water or oyster village. And from this mussel and cremation, Jhinukdah or Jhinidah, which has been transformed into today's Jhenaidah, has been named.

To the people present, he would like to know the name of the area. People could not understand his words, thinking that they asked for the name of what they are picking up from the river. People think that the mahini or jhanye The name of the place was taken by the Englishman Zheni. The word Zheni is used to be used later as Zhenida. Jhenaidah is still called Jhinda in regional languages. Jhenaida, Jhinda and Jhenaidah, whatever is called Jhenaidah, the origin of the name of the mussel is more acceptable to the people of this region.

In the traditional Jhenaidah, it has been said about Jhenaidah: "Barlow Awlia is blessed with the blessings of Gazi-Kalu-Champabati; KP Basu, Golam Mostafa memorized; Birshreshtha Hamidur Rahman, the valor of revolutionary hero Baghayat; Date molasses, bananas and bananas; Pagalankaai, Lalon Shah's place of residence, Kobadak, Begbati, Chitra, Nabaganga, Jhinukdah one name is Jhenaidah.
