The name of Kushtia district originates from the word "kushta," which means the fibre of jute. Even in the 1990s, jute production in the Kushtia region was good. Long before the birth of Bangladesh, this region enjoyed a reputation of its own — elders say it has been renowned since the Mughal era.

Kushtia was once a cluster of islands, covered with dense vegetation — especially babla (babul) trees. Crows nested in those trees in great numbers, and so in the distant past the region was known as "Kakdweep," the island of crows. Many hold that the name Kushtia comes from kushta (jute). Before the Partition of the country, greater Kushtia was known as Nadia; because of administrative difficulties, the then District Magistrate Syed Murtaza Ali renamed it Kushtia in early 1948.
