''Historical events''  Once Santahar of this upazila was an important railway junction of the British India. The Bangalis of this upazila started resistance movement on hearing the historic [[Seventh March Address|seventh march address]] by [[Rahman, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur|Bangabhandu sheikh mujibur rahman]]. They disrupted the railway lines and also created barricade by dismantling the Santahar-Bogra road. The Non-Bengali police of the Santahar GRP Thana led by Havilder Harun attacked the Bangalis with arms and ammunitions collected from the armoury and killed three Bangalis. They also killed three Bangalis in another incident at Santahar. In this situation the Bangalis led by the General Secretary of Adamdighi Thana Student League captured arms from nearby Raninagar thana and attacked the Biharis. In April the resistance movement by the Bangalis killed about 30 thousand non-Bengalis. In retaliation, the Pak army killed many innocent Bangalis of Santahar in April. Besides, the Pak army, in collaboration with the rajakars, killed a number of freedom fighters of the upazila. Adamdighi upazila was liberated on 14 December.'
