Background
In the brief history of Hakimpur Upazila:

Before the dividation of India, Mina Kumari, the zamindar of Murshidabad, has one of her zamindars named Balurghat. Mina Kumari was a wealthy woman. But his manpower was insufficient to maintain it. So he decided to hand over some of his property.Gadadhar Mandal is a rising rich man. Long-term desire of his to be a zamindar. He bought six mouzas of Balughat police station Hakimpur, Dharanda, Makurmura, Khordda-Mahsul, Basudebpur and Aptar from Mina Kumari as opportunity and original bargain. All these were then under Bogra district.
As Gadagharmandal was childless, after his death his nephew Beni Madhav Das became the sole heir to the property.
Since Beni Madhab Das had no children, his wife Kunjbala Dasya got zamindari after his death and after his death their only daughter Bidhubala Sarkar became the owner of the property.
India was divided. The zamindari system was also abolished. The Balurghat police station was also divided into two parts and included two countries. This area, which belonged to the then East Pakistan, became part of the adjoining Thana Nawabganj and came from Bogra to Dinajpur district. In the border area, train robbery became a huge issue so  people suffer the most. A police outpost was set up in the rice mill warehouse of Mr. Shafi Mandal at Pak Hili Bazar under a police outpost.
March 25, 1950 is a memorable event in the history of Hakimpur. The then government of Pakistan, through a gazette notification, declared Hakimpur Thana on this day in the name of Hakimpur Mouza comprising of 4 unions including Boaldar, Alihat, Khattamadhabpara and Birampur. Later 2 unions namely Hili-Hakimpur and Katla Sushti formed a total of 6 unions in this police station.
In 1961, the then government of Pakistan purchased a total of 275 acres of land, including his residence, from Zamindar Bidhubala Sarkar for Tk 5869.20 and the police station office was shifted there. At the time of creation, the police station was known as a fairly large police station. But in 1982, two unions of this police station, Katla and Birampur, were included in the newly formed police station, Birampur. As a result, the upazila now consists of 4 unions. Nawabganj upazila in the north of this sub-district, newly formed Birampur upazila in the northwest, Pachbibi upazila in the south, Ghoraghat upazila in the east and Hili thana in the west. The present Hakimpur upazila is divided into 69 mouzas. There are ruins of many ancient Buddhist temples in Baigram mouza in this upazila. There are ruins of an ancient mosque in Chhatni mouza. The ruins of a church can be seen in Laxmikol mouza.
In undivided India, Hakimpur Upazila was famous for its rice trade. At present there are 16 (seventeen) rice threshing mills in this area including the largest rice threshing boiler mill at that time. This area belongs to Barind region. Elevated areas can still be seen somewhere. Most of the people are farmers. In the field of agriculture, the utility of paddy production is the highest. . Indigenous people still retain mass agriculture as their main occupation. The tributaries of Tulsi Ganga and Jamuna flow through this upazila.This upazila is a total border area of ​​6 miles between India and Bangladesh. There is an international check post located in this border area called Healy Check Post. About 6-7 thousand people travel this way between India and Bangladesh every year.
