Maulvibazar, the second largest upazila of Maulvibazar zila in respect of population, came into existence in 1882 as thana. Nothing is definitely known about the origin of the upazila name. It is learnt that there lived a man named Maulvi Kudrat Ullah. He was very influential and friendly to all and set up a bazar at the present place of the upazila headquarters which became known as Maulvibazar after his death.
