Kushtia municipality was formed in 1869. Kushtia's famous indigo planter T. I Kenny built a huge building in the town in the interest of the blue business. Built on 210 acres, the building had 50 rooms known as the Crescent Building. The newly formed Kushtia sub-divisional office, court and pouro office were established here. However, the building is now dilapidated. Later, in 1966, the present pouro building was shifted to the house of Satish Shah, a wealthy zamindar of the town.
