The name Noakhali came from two separate bangla word ‘Noa’ and ‘Khal’ in 1968. The ancient name of Noakhali was Bhulua.
Noakhali district was created in 1821. In the 1660s, the agricultural activities of the north-eastern region of Bhulua were seriously affected by floodwater of the Dakatia River flowing from the Tripura hills. To salvage the situation, a canal was dug in 1660 that ran from the Dakatia through Ramganj, Sonaimuri and Chaumuhani to divert water flow to the junction of the rivers Meghna and Feni. After excavating this long canal, Bhulua was renamed "Noakhali".

How to go; Noakhali is roughly 150 km from the capital and it is a smooth 4-5 hour drive. First-rate highway restaurants along the way mean you can stop for a breather as often as you like. Daily bus services are available from Dhaka to Noakhali every hour from sayedabad. Daily Train services are available [morning and evening] from kamalapur railway station. You can choose another road by boat to go to 'Nijhum Dwip'.
