History
In the name of Satkhira district, there are some common connotations. In the meantime, during the Permanent Settlement, Vishnur Chakraborty, a vassal of Raja Krishnachandra of Nadia, bought the old Pargana at auction and built houses in Satgharia village under his auspices. His son Prannath is known and admired for his development work in the Satgharia region. The Satkhira subdivision was born in 1852 as the fourth subdivision of Jessore district, with its headquarters in Kalaroa. Nawab Abdul Latif took charge of the first subdivision. In 1861, the sub-divisional office was shifted to Satgharia (Satkhira). Satghaira had already become Satkhira in the face of the British officers. So the old Satghariya Satkhira is present.
