Background

Background of the upazila:

Magura started its journey as a subdivision in 1845. Prior to its inception, the law and order situation in the area deteriorated due to the persecution of "Mugh" pirates. The then British government established Magura subdivision in 1845 with the aim of improving law and order. Mr. Cock Burn appointed an English magistrate as the first sub-divisional administrator of Magura.

The word "Mug" or "Magra" was widely used in the mouths of the people due to the rampant anagona and anagona of the Mugh water pirates. Could. Many people think that the name Magura may have originated from this.
