Area overview
The area shown in the map was a part of Jessore district from 1883.[1][2] At the time of Partition of Bengal (1947) the Radcliffe Line placed the police station areas of Bangaon and Gaighata of Jessore district in India and the area was made a part of 24 Parganas district.[3] The renowned novelist, Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay (of Pather Panchali fame) belonged to this area and many of his writings portray his experience in the area.[4] It is a flat plain located in the lower Ganges Delta.[5] In the densely populated area, 16.33% of the population lives in the urban areas and 83.67% lives in the rural areas.[6][7]
