Magrahat
Magrahat is a census town and a gram panchayat within the jurisdiction of the Magrahat police station in the Magrahat II CD block in the Diamond Harbour subdivision of the South 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Once upon a time this place was occupied by Mog pirates. They set up a Hat (village market). That Hat are well known in the name of Mograhat or Magrahat. The inhabitant of Arakan Province of present-day Myanmar was called as Mog. Portugease pirates helped them to come here. According to a researcher, Mogra is a such place where different flow of rivers meet each other. Such type of place we find in Mogra in Hooghly district near Tribeni. Another Mogra we find in Sagar Island. One of inland transport river Banai flowed from here. This oblivion river touched Mandirbazar, Lakshmikantapur, Beluni, Chandipur and at last met with Gobdia Gang (one of the creek of Sundarban islands). About hundred years ago Magrahat was well connected with Jaynagar Majilpur by a canal.[citation needed]
Diamond Harbour subdivision is a rural subdivision with patches of urbanization. Only 14.61% of the population lives in the urban areas and an overwhelming 85.39% lives in the rural areas. In the eastern portion of the subdivision (shown in the map alongside) there are 24 census towns. The entire district is situated in the Ganges Delta and the eastern part of the district is a flat plain area with small towns, many in clusters. Location of places in the larger map varies a little. It is an OpenStreetMap, while we are using coordinates as in Google Maps.

Magrahat is located at 22°14′31″N 88°22′42″E / 22.2420°N 88.3784°E. It has an average elevation of 8 metres (26 ft).
