Lalgola town is established in the middle of eighteenth century. It was one of the gateways of East Bengal before the establishment of Indian Railway. It is 36 kilometre north of Berhampore. The king Yogendranarayana Rao lived here who was famous for charity for the welfare of the country. He provided many tanks throughout the whole district for the poor fellows. He also donated many writers for the publications of their books.

In this area another town, Bhagwangola was famous for the largest river- port of Bengal in that century. It was on the bank of river Padma. But later when Padma changed its course then Bhagwangola lost its prosperity.   

An ancient port and market was recently discovered at Palashbati village in Bhagwangola, Murshidabad. This port and market that existed during the period when Chandimangal was composed. According to the history, nearly 300 years ago, Bhagwangola was the busiest river- port in eastern India. This port was situated on the area where the Bhagirathi, Padma, and Jalangi met.

At Palashbati village 250 feet wide silted river is flown from north to south. There are two plinths of 75 feet long, 40 inch wide and 4 feet high in the east bank of the river. The plinths are made of a lot of small bricks. Between these two plinths, there is an empty place of 12 feet wide dock. 

It was only 15 miles away from Murshidabad, the then capital of Bengal, Bihar and Orrisa which required 650,000 metric tons of food grains for the residents of this area. The Government also collected the revenue of Rs.-300,000/- in every year before 1743 A.D. The importance of this port further increased towards the end of eighteenth century on account of import of cotton to Bengal from the North- Western provinces. Bhagwangola was so important to the Nawabs of Bengal that, it was secured by a ditch and military. In 1743 Bhagwangola was attacked four times by the Maratha (Borgi).
