According to historians, Jaflong was a secluded forest under the Khasia Jainta-Raja for many thousands of years. Although the Khasia-Jainta kingdom came to an end with the abolition of the zamindari system in 1954, large areas of Jaflong also fell for several years. Later, traders started coming to Jaflong by water from different areas in search of stone, and as the stone trade expanded, new settlements were formed. [1]

During the Bangladesh War of Liberation in 1971, the freedom fighters' camp in Sylhet was at Dauki in India across the Jaflong border. On 13 July an armed contingent of members of the EPR and the East Bengal Regiment entered Jaflong. There was a group of Pakistani soldiers at the house of Razakar Aziruddin in the Bangladesh part downstream of the Piain River. After two rounds of fighting between the two sides, five Pakistani soldiers were killed and the Pakistanis fled. At the same time two freedom fighters were also injured. Besides, large scale battles were fought on the Sari river near Jaflong. And in this way Jaflong became free from the enemy. Today, Jaflong has become one of the most important places in the interior of Bangladesh. [6]
