Rajarhat is a locality of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation in the North 24 Parganas district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is close to Calcutta and is also part of the area covered by the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA). Located just on the outskirts of the new planned city, Rajarhat-Gopalpur has experienced a huge surge in real estate development.
Raja Gajendra Narayan Ray, who was one of the financial officers under Emperor Jehangir, settled in Haveli Shahar (now Halishahar). Had a large zamindari in much of Northern 24 Parganas. One day he was about to visit his zamindari near a Bajra along the Labanyabati River (now a narrow channel called Nowai Khal). Suddenly, by chance, the Bajra sank and all passengers except him drowned. After this incident, he refused to return to Halishahar and decided to settle there. He built his residence there north of the Labanyabati River. A village grew up around his house which is still known as Rajabaati or Raajbaari. This village is located 2km (1.2 miles) south of the villages of Jojera and Beraberi. Later, many families of his subjects began to settle in the place and a market was also established which they called RajarHaat. This bazaar is still there, located east of Kadihati - Bishnupur Road and the old Shyambazar - Basirhat Light railway line, now known as Baguiati - Rajarhaat Road. A descendant of Raja Gajendra Narayan Ray, Durga Prasad Roy settled in Behala and is considered the founder of the illustrious Ray Family of Behala.
