Once Cox's Bazar was also known as Panoa which means yellow flower. Another ancient name is palanquin.
It was once an inaccessible area thanks to the forest-covered hills of Cox's Bazar. Due to this communication between this region and mainland Bangladesh was not easy.
The name of this city has many histories. Once the rulers of Arakan, Mog, Mughal, Bengali, Chakma, etc. had a conflict over the rights of this district. Besides, the region became a much-feared area for the incursion of Portuguese bandits. At this time the region was called Bakoli.
It is said that Shah Shuja, the ruler of Mughal Amal's Bengal passed this route on his way to Arakan province and was enthralled by the beauty of the mountains, forests, and seas of the region. For this reason, he took a position here. A thousand palanquins (drums) with him were stationed in this region. A place in this region is named Dulahajara after these thousand drums.
During the Mughal period, this area was called Palongki, while Cox's Bazar was called Palongki. After the Mughals, the East India Company gradually occupied the region.
Cox's Bazar and some adjoining areas were called Palangki. This region was also known as Panoa in the local language. It should be noted that the meaning of the word Panoa is - Bitter River.
Once the British administration started referring to this area as Cox's Bazar instead of Palankhi. After reading the local people started calling it Cox's Bazar in imitation of the English. Gradually this name also changed and became Cox's Bazar. However, in English, it is still called Cox's Bazar.
