History

[edit]
Main article:History of Chittagong

The Chittagong as an administrative division was established in 1829 to serve as an administrative headquarters for five of Bengal's easternmost districts, with the Chittagong District serving as its headquarters.[7] InEast Pakistan, the division's Tippera district was renamed as Comilla District in 1960.[8]

In 1984, fifteen districts were created by separating and reducing the original five districts of Chittagong, Comilla,Hill Tracts, Noakhali and Sylhet:[citation needed]

Sylhet, Habiganj, Moulvibazar and Sunamganj district ceded from the Chittagong Division to join the newly establishedSylhet Division in 1995.

Administration

[edit]

Chittagong Division is presently subdivided into eleven districts (zilas) and thence into 100 sub-districts (upazilas).[9] The first six districts listed below comprise the north-western portion (37.6%) of the division, while the remaining five comprise the south-eastern portion (62.4%), the two portions being separated by the lower (or Bangladeshi) stretch of theFeni River; the upland districts ofKhagrachhari,Rangamati andBandarban together comprise that area previously known as theChittagong Hill Tracts.
