Rajshahi (Bengali: রাজশাহী, [radʒ.ʃaɦi]; historically Rampur Boalia; nicknamed Silk City or the City of Education) is a metropolitan city and a major urban, commercial and educational center of Bangladesh. It is also the administrative seat of the eponymous division and district. [note 1] Located on the north bank of the Padma River, near the Bangladesh-India border, the city has a population of over 763,952 residents.[4] The city is surrounded by the satellite towns of Nowata and Katakhali, which together build an urban agglomeration of about 1 million population. Rajshahi is often considering the cleanest and green among the cities of Bangladesh.[5]

Modern Rajshahi lies in the ancient region of Pundravardhana. The foundation of the city dates to 1634, according to epigraphic records at the mausoleum of Sufi saint Shah Makhdum. The area hosted a Dutch settlement in the 18th century.[6] The Rajshahi municipality was constituted during the British Raj in 1876. It was a divisional capital of the Bengal Presidency.

Rajshahi is an important administrative, educational, cultural, and business center in Bangladesh today. It is a historic center of silk production. Varendra Research Museum, the oldest of its kind in Bangladesh, is located in the city. The city is home to many renowned educational institutions in Bangladesh. Rajshahi Agricultural Development Bank and Barind Multipurpose Development Authority (BMDA) are situated in the city. Rajshahi is served by the Shah Makhdum Airport.
