There are different opinions about the history of naming Kishoreganj. Historians have not been able to come to a definite conclusion in this regard. There is no mention of Kishoreganj in Rennell's map (181) or in the character report of Mymensingh at the time of establishment of Mymensingh (17) as a district. Not even at the time of formation of Jamalpur subdivision in 1845. It is known Became part of the Maharaja's zamindari. At that time Krishnadas Pramanik, the founder of the famous Pramanik family of the area, came in contact with the Maharaja of Natore through business sources. But in 1893, when the zamindari of the Maharaja of Natore was auctioned off, an Armenian merchant named Aratun bought it at Khanje Kafre. In this context, Srikedarnath Majumdar writes , “ The famous Paramanik Dig of Katakhali (Kishoreganj) had a long dispute with Aratun over some of the great palaces of this tide. It can be seen that Kishoreganj was better known as 'Katakhali' even in the late eighteenth century. Again the area is referred to as Jangalbari in the description of James Taylor. However, according to scholars and locals, it can be inferred that Krishnadas is the sixth son of Pramanik, the founder of the ruined Pramanik family in Batrish area of present Kishoreganj and the creator of Pramanik's fame It has been named. According to the family lineage of the Pramanikas, the approximate period of Nandakishore Pramanik is 1650-1610 AD. The great influence of the Pramanikas is evident. Many areas of Bangladesh have been named after a particular person in that area. The district gazetteer, however, states that Krishnadas , the founder of the Pramanik family, is a Brajkishore of that son of Pramanik and probably named 'Kishoreganj' after him. However, the first opinion is more acceptable. It is seen that 'Kishore' is added to the name of the zamindar of Muktagachha in Mymensingh and it is not correct to say that Kishoreganj was also named after him , because this area did not belong to the zamindari of that zamindar.
