Dhanbari Upazila
Dhanbari (Bengali: ধনবাড়ী) is an upazila under Tangail District in the Dhaka Division, Bangladesh. It was established when former Madhupur Upazila was split into two upazilas in 2006 by the efforts of Fakir Mahbub Anam Swapan, Central BNP leader who contested two times as a candidate of BNP in the constituency Tangail-1 (Madhupur-Dhanbari). Former prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia laid the foundation of this newly formed upazila.
