Dhaka (Dacca) is one of the oldest inhabited mega cities of the World.The history of Dhaka begins with the existence of urbanised settlements in the area that is now Dhaka dating from the 7th century CE.

The city area was ruled by the Gauda Kingdom, Buddhist and Shaivite Pala Empire before passing to the control of the Sena dynasty in the 10th century CE.

After the Sena dynasty, the city was ruled by the Deva Dynasty. Dhaka was successively ruled by the Turkic and Afghan governors descending from the Delhi Sultanate, followed by the Bengal Sultanate, before the arrival of the Mughals in 1608.

The city became proto-industrialised and declared capital of the then Mughal Bengal and commercial (financial) capital of the Mughal India.

The Dhaka natural riverine port has a recorded existence since the 16th century CE. Dhaka's strategic riverine location in Bengal made it a hub for Eurasian traders, including Armenians, the Portuguese, French, Dutch and British.

The bustling old city was known as the Venice of the East. After Mughals, British ruled the region for 200 years until the independence of India in 1947.

After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, Dhaka became the capital.
