During an excavation at Lamua, an ancient statue of Ananta Narayan was dug out. In 1454, the Nirmai Shiva Bari was built and still stands today. Sreemangal thana was established in 1912.
Sreemangal is known as the tea capital of Bangladesh. Sreemangal’s tea gardens can be seen for miles and miles. The town is surrounded by more than 40 tea gardens, lakes, lofty hills, dense jungles, lemon and pineapple gardens and rubber gardens.
