History

Tajpur was previously part of historic Gauharpur in Aurangapur Pargana. In the mid-14th century, following the Conquest of Gour in 1303, disciples of Shah Jalal such as Shah Tajuddin settled and propagated Islam in Tajpur, whom it is named after today.[2]

It became a part of Osmani Nagar Upazila on 2 June 2014.[4][5] On 5 January 2019, the union attracted media attention after the Khashi Kapon Knight Riders (Kashikapon) defeated the Sylhet Sixers (a Bangladesh Premier League team) in the finals of a cricket tournament.[6]
