This land adjacent to Brahmaputra is a huge reservoir of fertile land education, art, literature and folk culture of Bangladesh.

The history of Mymensingh is very rich.

Mymensingh district has a different opinion among historians. And in the sixteenth century, the independent sultan of Bengal Syed Alauddin Husain Shah formed a new state in the region for his son Syed Nasir Uddin Nasrat Shah, hence the creation of the name of Nasrat Shahi or Nasirabad. Nasirabad as the source of the Solim era, the name is not mentioned anywhere except the educational institution. The name of the mamesing on Rennell's map, published in 1779, refers to the current 'Mymensingh' region. Before that, in the law-i-akbari, the 'mahman shahi' and 'mononningsh' governments are written in the vajuah paragana; which is known as the current Mymensingh. In view of this, the name Mymensingh was introduced before the time of Emperor Akbar's reign.
