Chhagalnaiya lies in the southern part of the district, bordering Tripura and Mirsharai Upazila of Chittagong. It is rich in history and culture. The great medieval warrior Shamsher Gazi hailed from Chhagalnaiya. It is also the birthplace of many other noted historical figures including Sir A. F.

Chagalnaiya is an Upazila in the Feni district in Bangladesh. It is believed that the name of the area changed from Sagarnaiya (whom the sea bathes or bathes) to Chagalnaiya 'as a result of mistakenly writing L instead of R in official documents during the British rule. Due to its convenient geographical location and proximity to the border, the place has historically played an important role - especially during the liberation war of Bangladesh. Goats have nothing to do with this region, on the other hand, it is a region created by the freezing of the sea char and Naiya means sailor, it means Sagarnaiya is a sea sailor, this is the logical reason. It is now believed that Chhagalnaiya is actually a derivative of Sagarnaiya or 'sea-sailor' as many people from this region used to go to the sea to earn their bread as fishermen in large sampan boats.
