Background of the district administration
Patuakhali subdivision was formed in 1871 for administrative purposes during the British period. At that time there were 5 thanas in Patuakhali, Mirzaganj, Gulistan, Baufal and Galachipas. Bamna and Patharghata were under the control of Mathbaria. At that time Barguna was under Gulisakhali Police Station. At the end of the century, in the end of the century, Daman, Patharghata, Barguna Betagi and Khepupara thanas were formed for administrative convenience. Barguna is named after the name of the city as the Thana.
In the fourteenth century, the whole southern region was under Bakerganj. In the middle of the eighteenth century, Agabak Khan was the man in East Bengal. His estate was in Bakla Chandradwip. Patuakhali and Barisal were called Bakla Chandradvipo. In order to govern governance, in 1797, the British government created Bakerganj district according to the 7th resolution of Agabak Khan. A temporary police outpost was built in Phuljhori on the banks of the river Bichhkhali in the early 19th century to protect peace and to prevent the attack of pirates. Later, in 1904, one police station was established in Barguna permanently and Gulistankhali police station was established as two separate police stations under Amtali and Barguna. Subsequently, the pond of the Bay of Bengal continued to grow and the Sundarbans region was created by creating huge populations. Thus the Barguna Police Station area expanded.
Barguna in a beautiful forest of a time becomes gradually transformed into densely populated places. Political, social and cultural activism started in this area. In 1969, due to the increase in the number of people's privileges, size and number of governance, Patuakhali district became a sub-divisional city with the creation of Barguna History. Barguna subdivision consists of Patharghata and Bamna thanas of Kalapara, Amtali, Barguna, Betagi and Pirojpur sub-division. Due to the difficulty of communicating with the Barguna subdivision, the Kalapara thana was later associated with the Patuakhali subdivision. Before the Mahakumat became transformed, Barguna continued to keep pace with education and other areas in the culture. Later, on February 28, 1984, Barguna sub-division was upgraded to district.
