About
About Brahmanbaria
Brahmanbaria (Bengali: ব্রাহ্মণবাড়িয়া, romanized: Brāhmaṇabāṛiẏā) is a city of Bangladesh and the capital of Brahmanbaria Sadar Upazila as well as Brahmanbaria District. It is the second largest city after Cumilla in eastern Bangladesh and one of the oldest municipalities in Bangladesh, established in 1868.
Situated on the Titas River, Brahmanbaria has long been a river port and is one of Bangladesh's oldest municipalities since the dissolution of the East India Company, with its founding in 1868. It is a center of muslin production. Its Akhaura railroad junction is reportedly the largest in the country, and similarly its Port of Ashuganj is slated to become the largest port by 2030.
