Thakurgaon District (Bengali: ঠাকুরগাঁও জেলা) is a district in northwestern Bangladesh. It is part of the Rangpur Division and borders India to the west.[3] It was established as a mahakuma in 1860 consisting of 7 thanas named Thakurgaon sadar, Baliadangi, Pirganj, Ranishankail, Haripur, Bhulli and Ruhia. In 1947, it was re-established as a mahakuma including 3 thanas of Jalpaiguri and a thana of kochbihar of India. In 1981, Atoari was included in the new Panchagarh district and the area was shrunk in just 5 thanas. It was established as a district on 1 February 1984.[4]
