History

In 1905 Daudkandi Thana was divided and Homna Thana was formed. In 1984 Homna Thana was upgraded to Upazila. In 2001, 4 Unions of Homna Upazila (Chalibhanga, Chandanpur, Manikarchar and Radhanagar Union) were merged with Meghna Upazila to form Meghna Upazila. At present Homna Upazila consists of 1 municipality and 9 union parishads.
