Chowk Bazar was one of the most famous business and social meeting centers of Dhaka in the Mughal period. Even after 400 years it is still famous as before. It is one of Dhaka's old town market and it formed in the place where other old markets once were. King Maan Singh protested for the country on behalf of Mugal kingdom. In 1602 he transferred the head office in Bawal to the present Central Prison and also the Mughal Durgo, that’s how Chowk Bazar formed.
In 1702, Murshid Kuli Kha named the market "Padosha" or "Badshahi Bazar’. From 1733 to 1734, his son-in-law, Murshid Kuli Kha II, renovated the market. It is thought to have started in Munsil times and for Mursid Kuli Kha the market was established.
In the 18th century, Chowk Bazar was a famous social and business centre. Along with the Historical significance, the geological settlement of this zone also contributed to its massive activities, expansion, population increase, and popularity. The great Buriganga River was just at the South of Chak-Bazar, which contributed easy water transport and thus made trade more frequent and efficient. Sometimes this Chak-Bazar was known as Chak-Port. Chak-Bazar was located in such a way that 10 different other place was connected with Chak-Bazar by straight roads. However the area was not so good-looking.
From 1823 to 1825, Dhaka community’s two men, Dhaka’s Magistrate Dos and Walters wanted Chowk Bazar in the right way and improve the nearby roads condition. For this Dos suggested for the Nawabpur Road to widen as it was linked with Chowk Bazar. The road was very narrow and filled with cottages but there was no improvement by the end of 18th century. Dhaka Community did not give permission but Walter got permission later. He removed all illegal markets in Chowk Bazar and made a 460 ft length, 4 ft high and 1/2 ft thick wall surrounding it. In front of Chowk Bazar there was Moriom's Canon 'Kaman'. It was in Shoari Ghat before. Not only that, he also widen the way from Chowk Bazar to Islampur.

Firingi Bazar (ফিরিঙ্গি বাজার) is one of the most popular local markets in Munshiganj District. This bazar has a historical importance as well. There is a story behind the naming of this place.
In ancient Bengal, Munshiganj was familiar as a place desperately being robbed and hijacked by Portuguese & Mogh Pirates. Those Portuguese and Mogh Pirates were named as 'Firingi'.By using water ways,like sea and river they used to do that.
Contemporary emperor of ancient Bengal was frequently disturbed and disappointed by their destructive activities. They were looking for a immediate remedy of that disturbance. For that reason they built a massive 'Idrakpur' water fort.
Recurrent attack from Firingis and the protection by Mughol water fort was taking place simultaneously. Threat from Arakan's king accelerated a peace agreement between Firingi and Hossen Beg (হোসেন বেগ). According to the conditions of agreement in 1666 Hossen Beg was complied to rehabilitate those Firingis entered into that region at the bank of river Dhaleshwari in Munshiganj. That was the reason to named after the place as Firingi Bazar.
