Historical Tapestry: The history of Cox's Bazar is woven into the fabric of ancient civilizations. Initially under the rule of Arakan kings during the 9th century, the region witnessed shifts in power, including Mughal conquests and subsequent control by the Tipras, Arakanese, Portuguese, and finally the British. Captain Hiram Cox, a British East India Company officer, played a pivotal role in the city's development, rehabilitating Arakanese refugees and leaving behind a legacy that led to the city's naming.

Evolution into a District: After the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857, the British East India Company faced criticism, leading to its dissolution in 1874. Cox's Bazar became a district under the Bengal Province, marking a transition that paved the way for its continued growth and development.
