History
The entire history combines places like Payradanga, Anulia, Baidyapur & Haradham. Well planned roads connect all these places & the culture here. In 1606 A.C. Bhabananda Roy Majumder was the King of Nadia according to the Mughal Empire Jahangir's 14 Parganas. Later on Raja Rudra(1683–94) established the city Krishnagar. However the development in Nadia was led by Raja Krishnachandra(1728–82). He built religious places & small localities around different places in Nadia. That time he also built a locality at Haradham(Currently in Payradanga) & Anandadham. Particularly he took steps to develop Haradham in various ways. This was the beginning.There were many areas scattered in and around Payradanga while during the '50s some social workers like Khitish Chandra Guha, Rohonikanta Das, Bhabes Chandra Chakroborty & many more others took the initiative develop a well designed locality in Pritinagar. They built a co-operative to support the dream. After that they established the Pritinagar High School and started Bengali's greatest festival Durga Puja & more activities for the people.May be that time the place they try to build was vacant, but what they dreamed was true, because currently Payradanga is one of the famous names for many things in the District of Nadia. The first structured ruling system employed here was the Chowkidary Panchayat system that started in 1870 during the British Period. In 1885 this two-level ruling structure was formed by the British Govt.Post independence, the ruling scheme designed was with a little change in the previous. In 1957 the first Panchayet structure was employed in West Bengal, but in 1973 this law was passed & a 3 stage panchayet was employed, i.e. Zilla Parishad, Block Panchayet Samiti.The 1st Gram Panchayat election started from June 1978.(-informed by Tanay)

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
