Mirpur History in kushtia
No definitive information is available on how Mirpur of Kushtia got its name. However, Mirpur grew up around the notorious indigo planters Taylor and Nudson's indigo factory. Centring on that indigo factory, the Mirpur thana and the Mirpur tehsil office were established in 1820-1824.
In 1828, when Pabna district was formed, a police camp was set up at that very time in Para village, a mile east of Mirpur. In 1863 the region, including Mirpur, was placed under the Kushtia subdivision and made part of Nadia district. In 1878 the Mirpur railway was laid, and centring on it Mirpur began to develop as a centre of trade and commerce.

Places of interest in Mirpur upazila:
Among the notable places of Mirpur upazila in Kushtia is the homestead, now almost lost, of Dr. Radha Binod Pal - a judge of an international court and then chief judge of the Calcutta High Court of the British government - at Kakiladah in Sadarpur union. After the Second World War, on a bench of 13 judges, Dr. Radha Binod Pal alone delivered the verdict in favour of Japan and thereby became immortal. For that exemplary verdict, the fearless and dauntless Dr. Radha Binod Pal remains unforgettable in history. A government initiative to preserve his homestead is of the utmost importance.
Mirpur is home to many learned people. There are also the shrines of saints and holy men. More information about Mirpur will be published later.
