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.
