Chittagong
Chittagong, the leading port of Bangladesh, lies on the banks of the Karnaphuli River near the Bay of Bengal. A Portuguese trading center in the 16th century, Chittagong was under the jurisdiction of Britain, Burma (now known as Myanmar), and Pakistan before becoming part of Bangladesh in 1971.
