Background of the Upazila

During the Fakir movement from 183 AD, a section of Pagla Pamahiras entered the area and later during the peasant revolt led by Tipu Shah, many agitating leaders influenced the area. They began to organize the peasants to participate in the anti-English movement. As a result, the villages became warmer with the march of the British troops and the establishment of army camps. In this way, the British troops, in search of a safe haven, built another village, which was then known as Brahatta, in imitation of the naming of Barohati village for the convenience of naval communication near Bauhati and Barohati villages. Although the Brahatta is now known as Barhatta, the nameplate of the Barhatta railway station bears the memory of the ancient Brahatta. Many historians speculate that the naming of Brahatta dates back to the early 17th century or late 18th century, when British troops were stationed at Naterkona. Although the movement of the eighteenth century came to an end, the peasantry became rebellious when the English and the English-backed zamindars tried to collect rent and other taxes through persecution.
