Geography: 

Noakhali, historically known as Bhulua is a district in southeastern Bangladesh, located in the Chittagong Division. It was established as a district in 1821 and officially named Noakhali in 1868. Notably, Noakhali is the only district in Bangladesh that does not have a city named after itself.

Economy: 

The people of Noakhali play a vital role in Bangladesh's economy, especially in the remittance sector. Agriculture plays a vital role in the regional economy. 30% of the regional GDP comes from agriculture with 45% of the population employed in the sector. Employment in the fishing industry is also dominant in the poorer sectors of the population. Annually, 15%–20% of labor is involved in this sector (boating, fishing, drying, net and boat making and repairing, transporting fish from one location to other). Poorer communities are involved in crop production during the winter but in other periods they are involved in fishing, either working for themselves or selling their labour to the Mohajan. Around 40% of the population works abroad playing a vital role in the national economy.

Architecture:

The intense building of mosques that took place during the Sultanate era indicates the rapidity with which the locals converted to Islam. Major archeological works in the district include the 18th-century mosques of Bajra and Ramadan Mia. The Rajganj Mia Bari in Begumganj is a prominent zamindar palace in the district and was built by honorary magistrate Syed Sultan Alam Chowdhury.
