Maijdee

In 1948, the district headquarters at Sudharam, considered the main city of Noakhali, were submerged by the Meghna River. As a temporary measure, the affected population was relocated eight kilometers to the north to Maijdee. In 1953, the establishment of Noakhali Municipality was officially announced through a gazette notification. It encompassed various mouzas of Kadir Hanif Union, including the old town areas of Kalitara, Sonapur, and Maijdee. Concerns arose about the risk of Maijdee facing a similar fate due to river erosion, prompting authorities to consider relocating the headquarters again. However, protests by locals in the 1960s led to a decision to retain Maijdee as the district headquarters. Subsequently, Maijdee emerged as the new urban center of Noakhali.{{cite web |title=Noakhali at a glance: Noakhali District |url=http://noakhali.gov.bd/en/site/page/tczo-%E0%A6%8F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8B%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%80 |access-date=22 April 2024 |website=Bangladesh National Portal}}
