If we try to find out the history of kuakata we will find that, a long time ago (around 1784) Barmiest King "Bodofoa" illegally took position at "Arakan", on the home land of Rakhains and started to kill them. So many of them started to leave their homeland to save their lives.A part of them came in "Rangabali" Island in Galachipa by boat. A big part of them started to live in Kuakata and Kolapara. They started to live beside sea and felt shortage of drinking water. So dug two "Kuas" in of getting fresh drinking water. From this digging of "Kua" the name of the place became "Kuakata".Local name of the well is Kua and Kata is a local name of digging a well; so was the name "Kuakata". |
