History
Exact history of development of Ullapara region is not available. But according to most geologists, in 4500 B.C., the land of Varendra was built with the parts of Dinajpur, Joypurhat, Bogra and Rajshahi and the west parts of Pabna. For many centuries, Pabna and Mymensingh were built on alluvial soil deposited by those rivers. At that time, there was no Jamuna River and Sirajganj and Tangail were part of Mymensingh. According to Chinese tourist Huen Sang, the people survived in Sirajgonj for seven centuries. Then the river Jamuna appeared separating this area from greater Mymensingh. Then, the new land of this region was under water for eight or nine months of the year. According to Huen Sang, the western bank of the Karotoa river was in the Pundrabardhan Kingdom. By this estimate, Ullapara was also in this kingdom. A connection was established with Ullapara by paths of water and land in the era of Muslim Administration (1204-1757) and the time of British (1757-1947) and finally a business center was established.

“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
