It was officially known as Bikrampur until 1986 and was part of Dhaka District. The remains of the city of Bikrampur, the capital of the ancient kingdoms of southeastern Bengal, are lost and its location can only be guessed on the basis of available data. The area comprising the districts of Munshiganj stretching on the west of the Meghna and Dhaleshwari had been included in the kingdom of vikramapura in the ancient period. During the Sena rule Vikramapura in East Bengal had been the second capital of the Senas in addition to their capital at Nadia. After the fall of Nadia in the hands of bakhtiyar khalji (1204) the Sena King lakshmanasena fled to Vikramapura and began to rule East Bengal. After the death of Lakshmanasena (1206) his descendants Visvarupasena and Kesavasena ruled in Vikramapura till at least 1223 AD. Some historians postulate that the sons of Lakshamanasena ruled in Vikramapura up to 1243-45 AD. Raja Dasarathadeva Danujmadhava (Danuj Rai), the Deva king of Chandradvipa, ousted the Senas from Vikramapura in the third quarter of the thirteenth century and ruled the south-eastern Bengal till the end of the thirteenth century. When the Pakistan Army began mass-killing and massacre in Dhaka city on the night of 25 March the students and youths of Munshiganj raided the armoury and captured arms and ammunitions to resist the Pakistan Army on 29 March.[2] They successfully guarded the river-side area to check the onrush of the Pakistan army towards Munshiganj. The people of Narayanganj in alliance with the youths of Munshiganj resisted an attack of the Pakistan Army on 31 March. The Pak army first penetrated into Munshiganj on 9 May and killed some youths at Kewar on 14 May.As of the 1991 Bangladesh census, Munshiganj district, formerly a subdivision under Dhaka district, was established in 1984.
