Background: Bamna became a police station in 1870 and was upgraded to upazila in August, 1983.
Nothing is definitely known about the origin of the upazila name. However, there is a general belief that the
name ‘Bamna’ originated from the word Baon, a pseudonym of Brahmin (Hindu Priest). It appears from the
zila gazetteer that the original inhabitants of this area might belong to Austrict origin.
Area and Location: The upazila occupies an area of 101.05 sq.km. It is located between 22º11' and 22º21'
north latitudes and between 90º00' and 90º07' east longitudes. The upazila is bounded on the north by
Kanthalia upazila of Barisal zila. on the east by Betagi and Barguna upazilas, on the south by Patharghata
upazila and on the west by Mathbaria upazila of the Barisal zila.
