## History

Provincial Map of Bengal showing Greater Mymensingh Area (present [Mymensingh Division](/source/Mymensingh_Division) with Tangail and Kishoreganj) in 1917

The history of Tangail follows that of the greater part of East Bengal. Ruled by the Bengal Sultanate, it fell under Mughal domination in the 17th century. It became part of Atia pargana under the Sarkar of Bazhua of the Bengal Subah, before falling to the British East India Company. It was ruled by several zamindars including the [Nawabs of Dhanbari](/source/Dhanbari_Nawab_family).[4]

Until 1969, Tangail was a part of Greater [Mymensingh](/source/Mymensingh). In 1969 the Tangail District was established. Tangail district was created by Tangail Mohokuma from its 237 square kilometres of land and 3,177 square kilometres of land acquired from [Mymensingh district](/source/Mymensingh_District). The main rivers that cross the Tangail district are the [Jamuna](/source/Jamuna_River_(Bangladesh)), [Dhaleshwari](/source/Dhaleshwari), [Jhenai](/source/Jhenai_River), [Bangshi](/source/Bangshi_River), [Louhajang](/source/Louhajang_River), Langulia, Elongjani, Jugni, Pouli, Fotikjani and the [Turag](/source/Turag_River).

## River system

Main article: [List of rivers of Bangladesh](/source/List_of_rivers_of_Bangladesh)

Tangail district is flanked on the west by the [Jamuna River](/source/Jamuna_River_(Bangladesh)), which is over 4 miles wide during the rainy season. The Dhaleswari, first an old channel of the [Ganges](/source/Ganges) and then of the [Brahmaputra](/source/Brahmaputra_River), cuts across the southwestern comer of the district on its powerful sweep to join the [Meghna](/source/Meghna_River) near [Narayanganj](/source/Narayanganj). The old name of Dhaleswari was "Gajghata". It used to flow afterward by the [Salimabad](/source/Salimabad_Union) channel and then at last by [Porabari](/source/Porabari_Union) channel.

A part of the eastern boundary of the district runs close to the Banar river. The river Bangshi flows almost down the middle of the district, branching out from the old Brahmaputra to the north from near [Jamalpur](/source/Jamalpur_District). Bangshi falls into Dhaleswari near Savar, in [Dhaka](/source/Dhaka) district. The Bangshi forms a natural barrier to the Madhupur Jungle on the Tangail side, all the way from Madhupur to [Mirzapur Upazila](/source/Mirzapur_Upazila). It is only fordable at two or three places near Basail on its way to river [Meghna](/source/Meghna). Dhaleswari itself, however, takes out from the Jamuna from inside Tangail district.

Among other important rivers of the district, Lohajang is worth mentioning. It flows past the district headquarters of Tangail and is almost dead at present (in moribund condition). Other rivers are Khiru, Nanglai Nadi, Atai, Elengjani, Fatikjani, Bairan and Jhinai. The old Brahmaputra's most important offshoot is the Jhinai; striking off near Jamalpur it rejoins the Jamuna north of Sarishabari, while another branch flows past Gopalpur. Now these subsystems of rivers, viz Bangshi and Banar, and the Lohajang, Khiru, Nangtai Nadi, Atia and Jhinai are dying out because of the shift of the old Brahmaputra river from its former channel to the present Jamuna channel.

## Education

The central school of Tangail is [Bindu Basini Govt. Boys' High School](/source/Bindu_Basini_Govt._Boys'_High_School) established in 1880. Bindu Basini Govt. Girls' High School was established in 1882. These two schools were patronised and endowed by *Rani Bindubasini Roy Chowdhurany* and were named after her. These are nationally rewarded double shift schools.

In 1926, the [Government Saadat College](/source/Government_Saadat_College) was established by Wazed Ali Khan Panni, a [zamindar](/source/Zamindar) and educationalist of Tangail.

Later the college was converted into Kumudini Government Women's College. He also established Bharateswari Homes in 1945 at Mirzapur. He named it after his grandmother Bharateswari Devi. [Mirzapur Cadet College](/source/Mirzapur_Cadet_College), the third cadet college of the country, was established in 1963. The then president of Pakistan [Field Marshal](/source/Field_Marshal) [Ayub Khan](/source/Ayub_Khan_(Field_Marshal)) took initiatives to establish this cadet college.
