Narail District

Narail District (Bengali: নড়াইল জেলা) is a district in south-western Bangladesh. It is a part of Khulna Division.

Narail town was named after a feudal lord (a zamindar). The zamindars established a market at Roopgonj, also named after a zamindar. They established a post office for the first time in the district during British Raj near Rotongonj, named after yet another member of the zamindar's family. They modernized Narail and promoted culture, sports, and education.

The large playing field, Kuriddobe, was a gift for the town by the zamindar's family. They introduced a football competition, with a shield given to the champions, a cup for the runners-up, and medals for all players from the early twentieth century.

One of the zamindars moved away from Narail, settled in Hatbaria, and established another large manor (Jomidarbaari).

Narail District has an area of 967.99 square kilometres (373.74 sq mi). It is located to the south of Magura District, north of Khulna District, with the Faridpur District and Gopalganj District on the east, and Jessore District to the west.

Its average temperature ranges between 11.2 and 37.1 °C (52.2 and 98.8 °F) and has a yearly rainfall of 1,467 mm (57.8 in).

Through the district flow the Madhumati, Nabaganga, Bhairab, and Chitra rivers. There are many beels and haors, the most noted of which is Chachuri Beel.
