1।History: -
During the British rule in this subcontinent, about 1861, the southern region of Bagerhat district was surrounded by the traditional Sundarbans on the eastern side of the river. In this area, the eastern men from Parvati area BARISAL cut the jungle and created a habitable area for the people. The town is named as Sharankhola. In 1907 the Sharankhola Police Station was formed. On December 15, 1982, the refuge was honored with a standard police station. On July 18, 1983, after the Second Amendment of the Local Government (Thana Parishad and Thana administration was reorganized) ordinance 1983, all standards were converted into upazila upazilas. According to the order, the refuge was converted into an upazila. The largest part of the upazila covers the Gahin Sundarbans. Historical events include barricades and canals along the river in 1965 to protect the area from salinity. As a result, lack of water movement creates waterlogging in the area. As a result, the crop is severely damaged. Later, the affected people appealed to the government to seek remedies but without any help from the government, at one stage the local people rebelled to get rid of the waterlogging and at one point on March 10, 1967, they cut down the dam of Rainda (Sadar), Tafalbari, Kumarakhali Canal.

The Sharankhola Forest Range Office and Coast Guard Station were set up to set up police stations at Tafalbari, Barajapur to prevent corruption / smuggling / robbery of the Sundarbans of the refuge.

In 1985, the Sharankhola Police Station was abandoned. Tarikkanti Roy Chowdhury was the first Upazila Executive Officer in Sharankhola Upazila. In 1985, the first upazila chairman was elected. After winning the election, Md Habibur Rahman took over as the first elected chairman.

The distance from Bagerhat District Headquarters to Sharankhola Upazila Sadar is 48 km (30) miles by river. After the creation of Bagerhat district in 1984, the distance between the Bagerhat district headquarters and the Sharankhola upazila headquarters was 50 km (31.50) miles.

2. The name of the refuge is named:

 (A) What is known about the nomenclature of the Sharankhola Upazila. That is, the area is located on one end of the Sundarbans region and the wood produced by the Sundarbans was made in a special process which was a 'memorable' event. It is reported that the area has been named as Sharankhola since this memorable event.

(B) However, locally another information is known about naming refugees. The refuge of the refuge; 'Open' and now space. That is, refuge means shelter. There was and is no doubt that there was a tiger infestation in the Sundarbans. Earlier, there was no place for people to live in this part of the Sundarbans. To protect the tiger from invasion, humans are tied to the tree and sheltered. Later, people living in those places took shelter at the tabernacle for their livelihood. In the next phase, that is, in the third phase, people improve their sanctuary system in order to improve their quality of life. Thus, in those parts of the Sundarbans, people improved their shelter system. Thus, the people of this part of the Sundarbans provide shelter for them as their name is sheltered. The nomenclature of the refuge is more acceptable to the second opinion than the first opinion, as it bears a resemblance to reality.
