Cox's Bazar(/ˌkɒksɪzbəˈzɑː/;Bengali:কক্সবাজার,romanized:Kôksbajar;pronounced[kɔksbadʒaɾ]) is a city, fishing port, tourism centre, anddistrictheadquarters in southeasternBangladesh.Cox's Bazar Beach,one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bangladesh, is the longest uninterrupted natural beach in the world.[1][2]Located 150 km (93 mi) south of the city ofChittagong,Cox's Bazar is also known by the namePanowa,which translates literally as "yellow flower." An old name was "Palongkee".Kutupalong refugee camp,the world's largest refugee camp, is in Cox's Bazar.[3][4]

The city covers an area of 23.4 km2(9.0 sq mi) with 58mahallasand 27 wards and as of 2022 had a population of nearly 200,000.[5]Cox's Bazar is connected by road and air withChittagong.[6][7]

The modern Cox's Bazar derives its name from CaptainHiram Cox,an officer of theBritish East India Company,a Superintendent of Palongkee outpost. To commemorate his role in refugee rehabilitation work, a market was established and named after him. It is one of Bangladesh's main tourist spots. In 2023 Bangladesh evacuated over 50,000 people to safe shelters asCyclone Mochaapproached.[8]

History[edit]

During the early 9th century, the greater Chittagong area, including Cox's Bazar, was under the rule ofArakankings until its conquest by theMughalsin 1666.[9]When the Mughal PrinceShah Shujawas passing through the hilly terrain of the present-day Cox's Bazar on his way to Arakan, he was attracted to its scenic and captivating beauty. He commanded his forces to camp there. His retinue of one thousandpalanquinsstopped there for some time. A place namedDulahazara,meaning "one thousand palanquins," still exists in the area. After the Mughals, the place came under the control of the Tipras and the Arakanese, followed by the Portuguese and then theBritish.

The name Cox's Bazar originated from the name of aBritish East India Companyofficer, CaptainHiram Cox,who was appointed as the Superintendent of Palonki (today's Cox's Bazar) outpost. He succeededWarren Hastings,who became theGovernor of Bengalfollowing the British East India Company Act in 1773. Cox embarked upon the task of rehabilitation and settlement for theArakaneserefugees in the area.[10]He rehabilitated many refugees in the area, but died in 1799 before finishing his work. To commemorate him, a market was established and named after him, called Cox's Bazar. Cox's Bazar was first established in 1854 and became a municipality in 1869.[9]

After theSepoy Mutinyin 1857, the British East India Company was highly criticised on humanitarian grounds, especially for itsopiumtrade monopoly over theIndian Sub-Continent.However, after its dissolution on January 1, 1874, the company's assets, including its armed forces, were acquired by theBritish Crown.After this takeover, Cox's Bazar was declared a district of theBengal Provinceunder the British Crown.

20th century[edit]

Just after the end of British rule in 1947, Cox's Bazar became part ofEast Pakistan.Captain Advocate Fazlul Karim,the first post-independence chairman of Cox's Bazar Municipality, established the Tamarisk Forest along the beach. He wanted to attract tourists as well as to protect the beach fromtsunamis.He donated much of his father-in-law's and his own lands as sites for constructing a public library and a town hall. Karim was inspired to build Cox's Bazar as a tourist spot after seeing beaches of Bombay and Karachi, and was a resort pioneer in developing Cox's Bazar as a destination. Karim established a maternity hospital, the stadium and the drainage system by procuring grants from theFord FoundationandRockefeller Foundationthrough correspondence. T. H. Matthews, the principal of the Dacca Engineering College (1–49~1954), was a friend who had helped him in these fundraising efforts. Engineer Chandi Charan Das was the government civil engineer who worked on all these projects.

In 1959 the municipality was turned into a town committee.[9]

In 1961 theGeological Survey of Pakistaninitiated investigation of radioactive minerals likemonazitearound the Cox's Bazar sea-beach area.[11]

In 1971, Cox's Bazarwharfwas used as a naval port by thePakistan Navy'sgunboats.This and the nearbyairstripof thePakistan Air Forcewere the scene of intense shelling by theIndian Navyduring theBangladesh Liberation War.During the war, Pakistani soldiers killed many people in the town, including eminent lawyer Jnanendralal Chowdhury. The killing of two freedom fighters named Farhad and Subhash at Badar Mokam is also recorded in history.[12]

After Bangladesh's independence, Cox's Bazar started to receive administrative attention. In 1972 the town committee of Cox's Bazar was once again turned into a municipality. In 1975, The Government of Bangladesh established a pilot plant at Kalatali.[11]In 1984, Cox's Bazar subdivision was promoted to a district, and five years later (in 1989) the Cox's Bazar municipality was elevated to B-grade.[9]In 1994 (jobs) the Marine Fisheries and Technology Station (MFTS) was established at Cox's Bazar. MFTS is a research station ofBangladesh Fisheries Research Institute(BFRI) headquartered inMymensingh.The station covers a land area of four hectares and contains five laboratories.[13]

21st century[edit]

In September 2012 the municipality was the site of theCox's Bazar and Ramu riots,where local Muslims attacked the Buddhist community over an allegedQuran desecrationposted to Facebook.[14]

In 2017, hundreds of thousands ofRohingyarefugees from Myanmar arrived inCox's Bazar District,amounting to 725,000 in October 2018; the resultingKutupalong refugee campbecame the largest refugee camp in the world.[15]

On 14 May 2020, the first confirmed case ofCOVID-19was detected among the 860,000 refugees who lived in Cox's Bazar district.[16]

Geography and climate[edit]

Cox's Bazar is located 150 km (93 mi) south of the divisional headquarter city ofChittagong.Cox's Bazar town has an area of 6.85 km2(2.64 sq mi), and is bounded by Bakkhali River on the north and East,Bay of Bengalin the West, and Jhilwanj Union in the south.[19]

Thebeach in Cox's Bazarhas a gentle slope and with an unbroken length of 155 km (96 mi) it is often termed the "longest natural unbroken sea beach" in the world.

Cox's Bazar lies on a coastal plain in the southeastern corner of Bangladesh. From above, the plain appears to bulge out into the Bay of Bengal. Along the shore is an extensive area of beach anddunes.Most of the city is built on afloodplainthat is lower in elevation than the dunes, making it more susceptible to flooding due tocyclonesandstorm surges.The Cox's Bazar coastal plain was formed after the sea reached its present level around 6,500 years ago, with the area of the current floodplain originally forming a sediment sink that has since been gradually filled in by the Bakkhali river as well as smaller streams coming down from the hills.[20]

The climate of Bangladesh is mostly determined by its location in thetropical monsoon climateregion: high temperatures, heavy rainfall, and generally excessive humidity, with distinct seasonal variations.[21]The climate of Cox's Bazar is mostly similar to the rest of the country, but with an even wetter southwest monsoon season due to its coastal location. The annual average temperature in Cox's Bazar is a maximum of 30.1 °C (86.2 °F) and a minimum of 22.0 °C (71.6 °F). The average annual rainfall is 3,524 mm (138.7 in).
