From Habiganj District[edit]

The following text was in the Habiganj District article and needs to be incorporated into this article.

Bahubal was part of Raja Achak Narayan's Zamindari, but under Tripura. During Raja Achak Narayan's time (~1300-1360) the administrative centre was in Bishgawa. Than it was merged with Laksarpur, after Syed Nasiruddin taken over the power from Raja Achak Narayan.

In 1921 Bahubal thana was established, and 1983 it was turned into an upazila. Bahubal Upazila has an area of 250.66 sq km, and is bounded by Nabiganj upazila to the north, Chunarughat upazila to the south, Sreemangal upazila to the east and Habiganj Sadar upazila to the west. The total population is 1,37,402 (50.58% male, 49.42% female), with the literacy rate of 23% (28.8% male, 17.1% female). It needs to be mentioned that Dina Nath Institute was established in 1937.
