The capital of Prince Vijaya, the king who led military operations in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia was located 14 kilometers (9 mi) to the west of Rajshahi town. In medieval times, the region came to be known as “Rampur Boalia”. The origin of the present name of “Rajshahi” is debated among scholars. Most say that it takes its name from Hindu Kings Rajshahi Raj (or “Rajas”) as Raj and the persianised Shahi; both of which means “royal” or “kingdom”.[7] The administrative district was established in 1772 and the municipal corporation in 1876.
