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.

This is one of the oldest markets of old Dhaka. This century-old market was in its full bloom after the liberation war. Later, other markets entered the arena and split the business. The number of shops increased and changed the modes of transportation- from manual boats to steamers and trucks. Here, profit has various natures. Wholesalers and importers maintain the natural economics of selling at higher prices than the procurement cost where as, the storehouse owners' profit come from commissions.
At the bank, you shall see the green vegetables are taking down from the boats which were brought from the other side of the river. At the same time, some boats are crossing the river with goods. It’s a nice view to watch the whole nature and the activity of the people.
You shall find many storehouse at the Shyam Bazar area. Especially those are for garlic, onions, dry red chili etc. When you shall walk through the storehouse, you shall get a sharp smell of those spices at your nose. But be careful when you are passing beside the dry chili area.
Also you shall find there are some battle leaf's (pan) warehouses too. By using the Buriganga River, these goods are carried here to fulfill the demand of the Dhaka city people. People are too hospitable, and always keen to assist you if you need.
