Sylhet

Sylheti: সিলেট is a metropolitan city in northeastern #Bangladesh. It is the administrative seat of Sylhet Division. The city is located on the right bank of the #Surma River in northeastern #Bengal. It has a subtropical climate and lush highland terrain. The city has a population of more than half a million.

Sylhet is one of Bangladesh's most important spiritual and cultural centers. It is one of the most important #cities of Bangladesh, after #Dhaka and #Chittagong due to its importance to the country's economy. The name of Sylhet is the anglicized form of the ancient Indo-Aryan term Srihatta. In 1303, the #Sultan of Bengal Shamsuddin Firoz Shah conquered Sylhet by defeating the local Hindu Raja. Ibn Battuta visited Sylhet in the 14th century and saw Bengali #Muslims transforming the region into an #agricultural basket. Sylhet was a mint town of the Bengal Sultanate. In the 16th-century, Sylhet was controlled by the Baro-Bhuyan zamindars and became a district of the #Mughal #Empire. British rule began in the 18th century under the administration of the East India Company. With its ancient seafaring tradition, Sylhet became a key source of lascars in the British Empire. The Sylhet municipal board was established in 1867.

Originally part of the Bengal Presidency and later Eastern Bengal and Assam; the town was part of Colonial #Assam between 1874 and 1947, when following a referendum and the partition of British India, it became part of East Bengal.

The Sylhet #City Corporation was constituted in 2001. The Government of Bangladesh designated Sylhet a metropolitan area in 2009. The hinterland of the Sylhet valley is the largest oil and gas-producing region in Bangladesh. It is also the largest hub of tea production in Bangladesh. It is notable for its high-quality cane and agarwood.
