Background

The former name of Burichang upazila was North Vijaypur. According to the legend, at the beginning of the eleventh century AD, this northern village of Vijaypur was the abode of many learned men. In the eleventh century, the Chinese fairy Brajak "Yen Sang" came to visit North Vijaypur and was fascinated by the company of the learned men of the area. At that time he called the area "Buddy Chiang". When Buddy translates Chiang's Bengali into Chinese, Buddi means intellect or knowledge or education and Chiang means abode or dormitory or shala etc. Therefore, the lexical meaning of Buddy Chiang is the abode of the wise and the virtuous. Burichang police station was established in 1917 with the establishment of a police outpost in parts of Comillasna Sadar (Kotwali) and parts of the present Brahmanbaria district.

In 1983, Burichang Thana was transformed into a development circle. It was established in 1970 as a full-fledged and independent police station. In 1986, another police station named Brahmanpara was formed with 6 unions of this police station. With the remaining 6 unions, Burichang Thana emerged as a standardized thana or upazila on 15/04/1983. Burichang Upazila is bounded on the north by brahmanpara upazila, on the south by comilla adarsha sadar upazila, on the east by tripura, on the west, chandina upazila and devidwar upazila.
