== History == The constituency was created in 1984 from the [[Khulna-1]] constituency when the former Khulna District was split into three districts: [[Bagerhat District|Bagerhat]], [[Khulna District|Khulna]], and [[Satkhira District|Satkhira]].
Ahead of the [[2026 Bangladeshi general election|2026 general election]], the [[Bangladesh Election Commission|Election Commission]] redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the [[2022 Bangladeshi census]]. This 2025 redistricting reduced the number of constituencies in Bagerhat District from four to three and altered the boundaries of Bagerhat-1.<ref name="ds5ep2025">{{cite news |title=Gazipur gets a new seat, Bagerhat loses one |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/news/gazipur-gets-new-seat-bagerhat-loses-one-3979016 |work=The Daily Star |date=5 September 2025}}</ref> Previously it encompassed [[Chitalmari Upazila|Chitalmari]], [[Fakirhat Upazila|Fakirhat]], and [[Mollahat Upazila|Mollahat]] upazilas.<ref name="maps" /><ref name="ecs" />
