History
The site of Dhulian town was an important commercial centre during East India Company rule. There were indigo factories in and around Dhulian area, namely Ancoorah (Ankura) factory and Bunnyagaon (Baniagram) factory. These factories were attacked by the ryots from Dhoolean (Dhulian) and Kassemnuggur (Kashimnagar) during the Indigo revolt in Bengal.
The Dhulian Municipality was established in the year 1909 with 9 Wards and population of 8,295.
Prior to 1909, Dhulian was an important ferry point rural settlement which was originally located on the right bank of the Hooghly. It gradually became a river-mart of the district, being a seat of a large trade in biri, jute, rice, bellmetal, and other agricultural produces. The river-road transport stimulated the growth of the settlement and it was declared as urban centre during the first decade of the twentieth century. In 1923 the town was mainly confined to south of the Bagmari nala and north of Lalpur. The concave nature of the river bank restricts the growth of the town to the north and east. Naturally it expanded towards the south-west along the Kanchantala-Ferry Ghat Road.
