Bogra District, officially Bogura District[3] (Bengali: বগুড়া জেলা) is a district in the northern part of Bangladesh, in the Rajshahi Division.[4] Bogra is an industrial city where many small and mid-sized companies are sited. Bogra was a part of the Pundravardhana territory of ancient Bengal and the ruins of its capital can be found in northern Bogra. Bogra is named after the independent sultan of Bengal Nasiruddin Bughra Khan (1287–1291).[5]
