Birth of Nijhum Dwip: 

Hatiya is an island of Bangladesh under Noakhali District. It is situated at the southern part of Noakhali. You can find the bottomless Blue Ocean in the south of Hatiya. Hatiya has been growing a wealthy locality for hundreds of years. Most of the people of Hatiya Island are farmer and fishermen. But most of them are rich 
successively and owner of huge property. Many of them were high ranked businessmen. The people of Hatiya and other costal area have been growing up playing with a crazy sea. They have been pulled over the sea on fishing for many years. In 1950’s fishermen of Hatiya island found a huge awakening land in the southern part of the sea. From their life experience they often see that this kind of floating island rise up on the sea and then lost to acute wave of the sea. 
They might have thought that the island seem like those. But people saw that gradually this island raise with more visible in day by day. Within a few days it was formed a nice island. One of the main features of this island is, the land of this island is sandy and glittering. Fishermen named this island as Ballarchar or Baloor Char. Balu means sand literally. After the discovery of Nijhum Dwip, Fishermen found it as a resting place in the far sea. They also started to dry fish in this Island. Gradually bush and plants grow in there. 

A cowboy named Usman Mia who crossed the sea to go there with his cattle. After his arrival with cattle in this island this island was known to all as Char Usman. Yet this name Char Usman is now recorded in official documents as well. Gradually the island’s land has been increasing. 



In 70’s decades Aminul Islam Kalam was a member of Hatiya Island. He introduced this island in front of native and foreigners. Every one was fascinated to see the calm and pleasant scenery of the island. Then Aminul Islam Kalam gave it to the name, Nijhum Dwip. It is now a populated area.
