History
Brahmanbaria was a part of Samatata region of ancient Bengal. Before the reign of Alauddin Husain Shah, the sultan of Bengal, Brahmanbaria was part of Tripura. In 1513, Husain Shah defeated the king of Tripura, Dhanya Manikya, in battle, and succeeded to annex at least some portion of the territory of Tripura, which included modern Brahmanbaria. He also established the fort of Kaliagarh in Tripuri territory (which later became the modern town of Kasba, Brahmanbaria). The area Syed Mahmud resided in was named Kazipara (Kazi being a variant of Qadi) after him, and his mazar (mausoleum) remains there.
The leader of the Baro-Bhuiyan zamindars, Isa Khan, had his first and temporary capital situated in Sarail. Brahmanbaria was made part of the Sylhet Sarkar. During the Mughal era, Brahmanbaria was famous for producing quality cloth muslin.
