About Bangladesh

At the date of its independence in 1971, Bangladesh was divided into four bibhag (divisions), which were subdivided into zila (districts), and then into thana or upazila (subdistricts). In about 1985, the status of the zila was changed to anchal (regions). The regions were subdivided into 64 new, smaller districts, each of which was formed of a set of thana.
