History
Rangpur was
conquered by the army of Raja Man Singh, a commander of the Mughal
emperor, Akbar,
in 1575, but it was only until 1686 that it was fully integrated into the Mughal
Empire. Place names such as Mughalbasa ('Mughal locality') and Mughalhat('Mughal
market') bear testimony to the Mughal association and past of Rangpur and its
hinterland. Later on, Rangpur passed under the control of "Sarker" of Ghoraghat.
During the period of the British East India Company, the Sannyasi Rebellion took place.
