Khizrpur a medieval town presumably founded by isa khan. Now ruined, it was situated at a site about a mile north of the present Narayanganj town at the confluence of the Dulai (Buriganga) with the Lakhya. A strongly fortified city commanding the only water route to Dhaka from this side, it was a strong military base under musa khan and the then chief naval port of East Bengal from where all the great naval expeditions set out. The implication of the name 'Khizrpur Qila'h' to the hajiganj fort built by mir jumla in the seventeenth century indicates that the city of Khizrpur was within close vicinity of the present Hajiganj locality of Narayanganj. Under the Mughal sarker Bazuha Khizrpur was a pargana of which it was the centre. [Muazzam Hussain Khan]
