KNOWLEDGE OF Kushtia
Kushtia, Kushtia district or Kushtia Zilla is the name of a district in Western Bangladesh. It is a part of the Khulna administrative division which cover the districts all the South-western districts. Kushtia is one of the districts that existed since inception of Bangladesh.
Kushtia was once a part of the Nodia district (now in West Bengal) of the undivided India. A municipality was established in Kushtia in 1969. Hamilton's Gazetteer has the mention of Kushtia (Kustee) town and of the fact that the local people called the town Kushtay (Kushte).
Kushtia, however, is not an ancient township. A river port was developed in the district during the reign of Emperor Shahjahan. Although the British East India Company made intensive use of the port, townships grew rapidly when the indigo planters and traders and settled here. Connection with Kolkata, capital of British India, by rail in 1860 made the town an alluring location for mills and factories for many, including the Renwick and Company (1904), Jagneshwar Engineering Works (1896) and the Mohini Mills (1919).
During the Partition of India, Kushtia was made a separate district, consisting of Kushtia Sôdor, Chuadanga and Meherpur subdivisions, in 1947. The town got a renewed momentum for development with the establishment of the headquarters of the Ganges-Kobadak Project and a number of government offices in 1954.
