Located about seven kilometres from Tangail town, Korotia Hat is widely regarded as the heart of the district’s textile trade, particularly for Tangail handwoven sarees. Historical accounts trace the establishment of Korotia Hat to around 1800, during the Zamindari period. After independence, Korotia Hat became one of Tangail’s most important commercial hubs. Sarees from Korotia Hat reach markets in Pathrail, Balla, Rampur, Enayetpur, Baburhat, Belkuchi, Islampur and major shopping malls in Dhaka and other cities. Saree trader Samiul Islam said Korotia Hat remains a key centre for both domestic and imported textile products.
