Idrakpur Fort was built in 1660 A.D. on the bank of the river Ichhamati during the Mughal rule. Situated at Munshiganj. The present Munshigonj town including the outlying areas was known as Idrakpur which was named after the then Mughal faujdar Idrak. It was intended to counter the advances of the ‘magh’ and ‘portuguese’ raiders by water.
