Cox’s Bazar is a city and tourist center located in the southeastern region of Bangladesh, which is famous for its scenic beauty and the world’s longest natural sandy beach. Cox’s Bazar’s beach is about 120 kilometers long. It is home to the country’s largest marine fishing port and submarine cable landing station. Once, Cox’s Bazar was known as “Palonki” and later was named after British officer Captain Hiram Cox.
Cox’s Bazar has a rich history, extending from the Mughal Empire to the Portuguese and British rule. During British rule, Captain Hiram Cox made significant contributions to the rehabilitation of Arakan refugees, which inspired the establishment of a market named “Cox’s Bazar” in his memory. The first police station was established here in 1854, and the municipality was formed in 1869.
Cox’s Bazar is located 152 kilometers south of Chittagong and 414 kilometers from Dhaka. It can be reached from Dhaka and Chittagong by road, air, and recently opened railway.
