Background

During the Muslim domination of south-eastern Bengal, an independent state was established by King Danujmardan named "Chandradvip". Until the 14th century, the region was known as Chandradvipa. The name of Chandradvipa is very big in the ancient foreign map. By 1796, this district was known as Bakla-Chandradvipa. Subsequently, in 1797, Lobarkarganj in southern district of Dhaka district, 1801 transferred Bakerganj district to Barisal (Girid port). In 1812 there were 15 thanas in this district. During the Pakistan period, there were a total of 6 subdivisions in Barisal district. Patuakhali district was formed in 1969 with the consent of Patuakhali and Barguna subdivision. Later, as a result of the administrative reorganization, Barguna became a new district in 1984. Now the districts of Barisal Division are Barisal, Patuakhali, Bhola, Pirojpur, Barguna and Jhalakathi.
In 1859 Gulishakhali thana was established with Amtali, Barguna and Pasarara. Headquarters were established at the river Pyaara river Gulishakhali village. In 1871, when Patuakhali was transformed into subdivision, Gulishakhali was included in it. In 1901, due to river erosion, the thana of the Sadar Sadar was transferred to the south of Amtali, AK, near the school. In 1944 Gulishakhali was transformed into Amtali Police Station. In 1982, Amtali thana was turned into an upazila. In the meeting of the ECNEC in January 2012, Amtali Upazila was divided into another new upazila, named as Taltulipjella.
