  The early name of Dewanganj was 'Paddat Nagar' named after by a Hindu Land Lord. During the Mughal period two saints, Dewan Shah Kamal and Dewan Shah Jamal, preached Islam in the area. Dewanganj is named after these two saints. In 1772, it was under Rangpur district. Then in 1821 it was transferred to Bogra district. In 1866, it was transferred to Jamalpur subdivision under Mymensingh district. Bahadurabad Ghat of this upazila was a very important strategic place in the northern sector during 1971. The Pak army deployed one-platoon soldiers of the 31st Baluch Regiment, one company Para Military Rangers Forces and about 50 Razakars to keep full control over the Bahadurabad Ghat along with the Jamuna River. On 3 July 1971 a group of 400 freedom fighters attacked the Bahadurabad Ghat under the command of Major Shafayet Jamil. The Pak army was defeated in this three-day battle; with this the freedom fighters were able to disrupt the railway communication between Jamalpur and Bahadurabaad Ghat.Marks of War of Liberation Mass grave 3.
