The history of Thakurgaon is very glorius, specially during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971 people of Thakurgaon played a very positive role to make homeland enemy-free.

In British India, Thakurgaon was a Thana. Later it became a subdivision under undivided Dinajpur District. In 1947 at the time of Partition of India, Thakurgaon Subdivision fall with Pakistani part, that is a subdivision of newly established Dinajpur District of East Bengal (East Pakistan). In 1984 the Takurgaon Subdivision was declared as a District of Bangladesh.

The economy of Thakurgaon district can be divided into two major parts: Agri-based economy and non agricultural sources of ecomony. It is an obvious that in agri-depended Bangladesh agriculture would be the thrust sector of the economy. Thakurgaon has been striving for long time to be economically productive. But being 500 km apart from the capital it is not easy to get sufficient technical and logistic support.

Even its been always a pain for local products to get into the national market. It is not easy for the investors to set up their business far away from the center of national trade and commerce. Thakurgaon is rich in producing a good number of agri-items like paddy, wheat, sugercane, seasonal corps, seasonal fruits etc. There is a sugarcane plantation - TSM (Thakurgaon Sugar Mill), part of the BSFIC.
