Jagiroad Assembly Constituency
Jagiroad is a town in the state of Assam. It is located on the south bank of the Kolong River, in the Mayong Subdivision of Morigaon district. Etymology It was earlier known as Nakhola, but in British Rule of India, it was changed due to frequent confusion with the name Noakhali of Bangladesh In medieval times, there was a war between the Kacharis and Jungal Balahu. He was defeated and forced to retreat. The place where he stopped to drink the water of the Kolong river, later became known as Raha. The place where he jumped into the Kolong and escaped is called Jagi and the road to Jagi, a place in Morigaon, passes through this place. Thus, the place known as Jagiroad.
