Goalpara district (Pron:ˌgəʊɑ:lˈpɑ:rə) (Assamese: গোৱালপাৰা জিলা) is an administrative district in the state of Assam in India. The district headquarters are located in Goalpara town.
It was a princely state ruled by the Rajbongsi Kings and the then ruler of the undivided kingdom. Presently the erstwhile Goalpara district is divided into Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Dhubri, and Goalpara district.
The name of the district Goalpara is widely said to have originally derived from `Gwaltippika` meaning `Guwali village` or the village of the milk men. The history of Goalpara goes back to several centuries. Based on the Chinese traveler `Hiuentsang` report, Sir Edward Gait had concluded that the erstwhile capital of the state of Kumar Bhaskar Varman was either in Goalpara district or in Cooch Behar. The district came under British rule in 1765. Before this, the area was under the control of the Koch dynasty. It was also part of greater British Bengal. In 1826 the British accessed Assam and Goalpara was annexed to Assam in 1874, along with the creation of district headquarters at Dhubri.
Goalpara (Pron: gəʊɑ:lˈpɑ:rə) (Assamese: গোৱালপাৰা) is the district headquarters of Goalpara district, Assam, India. It is situated 134 kilometres (83 mi) to the west of Guwahati.
The name Goalpara is said to have originated from the word "Gwaltippika" meaning Guwali village, or The village of the milk men. In local dialect, "para" means village.
