Sitakunda is one of the oldest human settlements in Bangladesh. For most of its history, Sitakunda was ruled by various Buddhist rulers in eastern Myanmar and Muslim rulers in Bengal in the west. Sitakunda was ruled by the Pala dynasty of India for a short period in the eighth century. The rulers in the eastern part of Sitakunda came from the kingdom of Arakan, the Mrak U dynasty, the Arakanese pirates and the pagan kingdom. The western rulers came from the Sultanate of Bengal and the Mughal Province (Suba) of Bengal. In the 16th and 18th centuries, the Portuguese explored the region under European rule, who ruled with pirates. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the region was ruled by the British Raj, who annexed Sitakunda to the rest of Chittagong district. Didarul Alam is the current Member of Parliament for Sitakunda.
