History edit

The whole land which today comprises the graveyard was owned by the family of Abdul Monem Khan, the former Governor of East Pakistan. After the Liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the land owned by the family was taken by the government of Bangladesh (except a small portion) and the graveyard was established.
