History of Kushtia Municipality
In the days of the Company, Kushtia was under Jessore district. In order to protect the Kushtia thana — which stood on the other bank of the Chaltedah (the present-day Gorai river), at the mouth of Talbaria on the north-western edge of Dakdah — from the devouring grip of the Padma, and with the aim of putting in good order the British administrative system, which had been left unsettled in the aftermath of the Indigo Revolt, the thana was shifted to the north-eastern part of the village of Majampur.

Rural life in Bengal was once built on agriculture, rivers, weekly markets, crafts and mutual cooperation. People of many different professions within the village itself met villagers' everyday needs. The blacksmith made ploughshares, sickles and axes; the potter made clay pots; weavers wove cloth and gamchha towels; and artisans of bamboo and cane made winnowing trays, baskets and many daily-use items. Weekly haats traded these goods, and around those haats grew the village economy and social life.

The district of Kushtia had significant contribution to the Bangladesh Liberation War. A 147-member company of the 27th Baluch Regiment of the Pakistan army reached Kushtia on 25 March 1971 from its base at Jessore cantonment. They initially captured the local police station and settled an outpost there, but soon faced considerable resistance from a group of police, ansars, students and local people. By April 1, the Pakistany army was completely overpowered and the Mukti Bahini took control of Kushtia. Later on April 17, 1971 the Bangladesh Government in-exile formally announced Proclamation of Independence at Baidyanathtala.Subsequently, battles between the Pakistan army and the rebels occurred at many places of the district including Bangshitala of Kumarkhali Upazila, and Daulatpur Upazila.
