History

After the Battle of Egarasindhur in 1597 AD,[2] Isa Khan took over the Jangalbari Fort from Laksman Singh Hajra.[1] After Musa Khan became loyal to Mughal force, the descendants of Isa Khan transferred their families from Sonargaon to Jangalbari Fort.[3] Baro-Bhuyans conquered 12 parganas leading from this fort. The fort covers an area of 40 acres (16 ha).[4]
