About Mymensingh City Corporation
Mymensingh City Corporation is situated approximately 120 kilometres (75 mi) north of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. It encompasses Mymensingh Municipality, two whole union parishads, and parts of six others within Mymensingh Sadar Upazila. The corporation now extends across the Brahmaputra River, covering both its eastern and western banks.
The area’s history began in 1791 with the establishment of Nasirabad, later renamed Mymensingh in 1905. A municipality was formed in 1869 to manage the development of the city, evolving from a Town Committee to a Municipal Committee in 1977. The drive to upgrade Mymensingh to a city corporation began in September 2011, culminating in its official formation on April 2, 2018.
The city sits on relatively flat land, traversed by the Brahmaputra River, which originates in the Himalayas and flows into the Bay of Bengal. Historically, the city was centered on the western bank of the Brahmaputra River, but the newly formed City Corporation now spans both banks.
The City Corporation is responsible for administering essential infrastructure and public services, including urban planning, waste management, and healthcare. It consists of 33 wards, each represented by a councillor, and is headed by an elected mayor.
