History
Sapatgram is an ancient human habitation. Originally Sapatgram belonged to the ancient Koch Hajo (1581-1616) Kingdom under Raghudev and his son Parikshit Narayan of the Koch dynasty that stretched from Sankosh River in the west to the Bhareli River in the east on the north bank of River Brahmaputra. It was created by dividing the Kamata Kingdom then under Nara Narayana in medieval Assam.
The western boundary, the Sankosh River, is roughly the boundary between the present-day Assam and West Bengal. The western portion of the Kamata Kingdom came to be called Koch Bihar. The name Hajo comes from a legendary king Hajo the Koch, an ancestor of the Koch dynasty, who ruled over the Rangpur district in present-day Bangladesh and some regions of Assam.
In 1602, the Nawab of Dhaka and a Mughal governor moved by Lakshmi Narayan (ruler of Koch Bihar) and others attacked Parikshit Narayan, the ruler of Koch Hajo. Parikshit was defeated at Dhubri in 1614.
The Mughals then appointed Kabisekhar as the kanungo and instructed Sheikh Ibrahim Karori to set up a Mughal system of administration. The Mughals appointed Bijit Narayan, son of Parikshit Narayan, as the zamindar of the region between river Sankosh and Manas. And he became the founder of the Bijni branch of the Koch royal family which finally settled in Abhayapuri.
