The Baitul Ikram Jame Mosque in the village of Chhota Gaurichanna.

In 1904, a thana (police outpost headquarters) was founded in Barguna. During the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, many people were murdered in Barguna town as well as the Bengali freedom fighters when retreating. 100 prisoners at the Barguna Jail were killed by the Pakistan Army on 29 and 30 November and they were later buried in a mass grave to the west of the Jail. By 3 December, Barguna had been liberated.[4] Barguna Sadar Thana's status was upgraded to upazila (sub-district) in 1983 as part of the President of Bangladesh Hussain Muhammad Ershad's decentralisation programme.
