History
Chhagalnaiya is also the name for eponymous uupazila in Feni district of Bangladesh. It is believed that the name of the area changed from Sagarnaiya (whom the sea bathes or bathes) to Chagalnaiya, as a result of mistakenly writing L instead of R in official documents during the British rule. Due to its convenient geographical location and proximity to the border, the place has historically played an important role - especially during the liberation war of Bangladesh. Goats have nothing to do with this region, on the other hand it is a region created by the freezing of the sea char and Naiya means sailor, it means Sagarnaiya is a sea sailor. Chhagalnaiya is actually a derivative of Sagarnaiya or sea-sailor as many people from this region used to go to the sea to earn their bread.
