The small part of [[Chittagong]] is well known for being the capital of the [[Portuguese settlement in Chittagong]] and [[Portuguese Bengal]].

This is one of the two Firingi Bazars in [[Bangladesh]] the other being located in the capital city of [[Dhaka]].

The upbringing of [[Firingi Bunder]] comes from the Portuguese times of colonialism in India which was known as the colony of [[Portuguese India]] (1505-1961). The Portuguese descendants of these were called [[Farang]]. Thus meaning European in the [[Persian language]]. These descendants created settlements all over the coast of [[Bengal]] in cities such as [[Chittagong]], [[Dhaka]], [[Kolkata]], [[Chandannagar]] and [[Hoogly and Bandel]]. These settlements resulted in recreation of Portuguese architecture in the region of Bengal and creations of churches, trading posts etc by missionaries.

During the 16th century, the port became a [[Portuguese settlement in Chittagong|Portuguese trading post]] and [[João de Barros]] described it as "the most famous and wealthy city of the Kingdom of Bengal".<ref>{{cite web|title=Chittagong {{!}} History, Population, & Facts |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Chittagong|access-date=23 February 2022|website=Encyclopædia Britannica|language=en}}</ref> The Mughal Empire expelled the Portuguese and Arakanese in 1666.

The [[Nawab of Bengal]] ceded the port to the [[British East India Company]] in 1793. The [[Port of Chittagong]] was re-organized in 1887 and its busiest shipping links were with [[British Burma]]. In 1928, Chittagong was declared a "Major Port" of [[British India]]. During [[World War II]], Chittagong was a base for [[Allies of World War II|Allied Forces]] engaged in the [[Burma Campaign]]. The port city began to expand and industrialize during the 1940s, particularly after the [[Partition of British India]]. The city was the historic terminus of the [[Assam Bengal Railway]] and [[Pakistan Eastern Railway]]. During the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] in 1971, Chittagong was the site of the [[Bangladeshi declaration of independence]]. The port city has benefited from the growth of [[heavy industry]], logistics, and manufacturing in Bangladesh. Trade unionism was strong during the 1990s.

Chittagong accounts for 12% of Bangladesh's GDP, including 40% of industrial output, 80% of [[international trade]], and 50% of [[tax]] revenue. The port city is home to many of the oldest and largest companies in the country. The Port of Chittagong is one of the busiest ports in [[South Asia]]. The [[BNS Issa Khan|largest base]] of the [[Bangladesh Navy]] is located in Chittagong, along with an air base of the [[Bangladesh Air Force]], garrisons of the [[Bangladesh Army]] and the main base of the [[Bangladesh Coast Guard]]. The eastern zone of the [[Bangladesh Railway]] is based in Chittagong. The [[Chittagong Stock Exchange]] is one of the twin stock markets of Bangladesh with over 700 listed companies. The [[Chittagong Tea Auction]] is a [[Commodities exchange|commodity exchange]] dealing with [[Tea production in Bangladesh|Bangladeshi tea]]. The [[Chittagong Export Processing Zone|CEPZ]] and [[Karnaphuli Export Processing Zone|KEPZ]] are key industrial zones with foreign direct investments. The city is served by [[Shah Amanat International Airport]] for domestic and external flights. [[Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel]], the first and only [[Underwater tunnel|underwater road tunnel]] of South Asia, is located in Chittagong. The city is the hometown of prominent economists, a Nobel laureate, scientists, freedom fighters and entrepreneurs. Chittagong has a high degree of religious and ethnic diversity among Bangladeshi cities, despite having a great [[Muslim]] majority. Minorities include [[Hindus]], [[Christians]], [[Buddhists]], [[Chakma people|Chakmas]], [[Marma people|Marmas]], [[Tripuri people|Tripuris]], [[Garo people|Garos]] and others. The people of Chittagong are generally considered a different ethnic group in contrast to Bengalis.
