History

Habibullah Nagar is named after Hazrat Shah Habibullah Yemeni, one of the main disciples of 14th-century Sufi preacher Makhdum Shah Daulah Shahid. He helped spread Islam in these villages and was buried in the village of Badalbari. 10-year chairman Tasin Uddin Sarkar donated the land for the construction of the Habibullah Nagar Union Council Complex building. He did not take a single Bangladeshi taka in exchange for this land. Apart from this, he gave the land for educational institutions such as high schools and primary schools. He also contributed a lot to the famous cloth market of Shahzadpur. Under the supervision of the late Tasin Uddin Sarkar, the cloth market became very famous.
