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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
