Bonpara is a paurashava (municipal corporation) in Baraigram Upazila of Natore District in north-western Bangladesh. It has a total population of around 22867.[2]
Catholic Christian missionaries in the Bhawal region cleared the woods and founded human settlements in the late 1920s. Because of the abundance of woods, it is called Bonpara. Initially, only Christians lived in this neighborhood, but other faiths eventually moved in. At the moment, all faiths may be found here.
Bonpara was incorporated as a municipality on December 31, 2002.[citation needed]
