Muladi Upazila: History
Following the Conquest of Bakla in the early 17th century, Emperor Jahangir awarded parts of Chandradwip to Ulfat Ghazi for his participation, and these areas became the Nazirpur pargana of Bakla. His son, Syed Qutb Shah, first settled in the village of Terachar in present-day Muladi. He was renowned for his Muslim missionary activities across Barisal, Madaripur, and Bagerhat. He also dug reservoirs and ponds and built mosques for the welfare of locals. A large pond was excavated by Syed Qutb Shah in Terachar but has now been submerged by the Arial Khan River. Qutb Shah subsequently migrated to Nalchira due to the unsafe conditions in Terachar, and his descendants continued to hold influential positions in the history of Barisal for several centuries.
