It is said that in ancient times this region was under the rule of King Narsingh. In the beginning of the fifteenth century, King Narsingh established a small town named Narsinghpur on the west bank of the ancient Brahmaputra river. Narsingdi's name was named after the king’s name. In the evolution of the time, the settlement of the Brahmaputra river created many peaks. At present, it is known as the city of NarasinghpurMouza and Narasinghhar village. The name Narsingdi came from the word “narsingh”.

Later this region of Narsingdi was included in the area of ​​MaheshwariPargana. The zamindar of the Pargana was the DiwanIshaKha. Later, the zamindars were Dewan Sharif Kha and Aysha Akhter Khatun.
