About Rangpur City Corporation
Rangpur City Corporation is located in the Rangpur district of the Rangpur Division. It encompasses parts of 12 unions, including Rangpur Sadar, Kaunia, and Pirgacha, and includes 112 mouzas, with 7 full and 5 partial unions. The military base is excluded from the city corporation’s jurisdiction.
The area has a history of local governance dating back to 1869 when it was established as Rangpur Municipality with an area of 50.56 square kilometers. Notable chairmen included Raja Jankiballav Sen of Dimla and Gopal Lal Roy of Tajhat. In 2012, the municipality was officially upgraded to Rangpur City Corporation through the Local Government (City Corporation) Act, 2009, with the first election held in December of that year.
Rangpur City Corporation covers an area of 205.70 square kilometers. The area was expanded to 50.56 square kilometers in 1986 when the municipality was upgraded to Class 'A'. A four-lane highway project was implemented by then-mayor Sharfuddin Ahmed Jhantu, upgrading roads from Modern Mor to Medical Mor.
College Road and R.K. Road are prominent features of the city, the latter historically serving as a key route connecting Rangpur to Kurigram. The City Corporation is administratively divided into 33 wards, each represented by an elected councillor.
