Kushtia
Kushtia is a district in the Khulna administrative division of western Bangladesh. It is a medieval township. From the Mughal period this area has developed as a trade centre because of its geographical location. Railway connection with Kolkata, the then Capital of British India and waterway facilities through the Padma River has further facilitated Kushtia to grow as an alluring location for mills and factories. The town developed based on these industries and trades associated with these industries. Considering its extensive growth, Kushtia Municipality was established on April 1, 1869 under the Municipal Act, 1868. Since then, this municipality has developed, and it has the potential to develop further not only as an administrative centre but also as an economically vibrant area housing substantial urban population of the country
