Dhubri was an important commercial centre and had a busy river port particularly for jute. Dhubri is called the "Land of Rivers" as it is covered three sides by rivers.
The word Dhuburi comes from a legendary lady named Netai-Dhubuni. The story is connected with Behula-Lakhindar. The word Dhubuni is considered a corruption of 'Dhuburi'. According to Bodo-Kacharis, the word is of Bodo origin and derived from Dubra, a kind of grass. The story of lady Netai-Dhubuni is widely accepted for the naming history of Dhubri and that is where the Gurdwara Sri Tegh Bahadur Sahib stands.

COMIC BOOKS - (M. Zone/P. Zone/A. Zone)
Long before I was 12
I would read by myself
Archie, Josie, super-heroes
I would read them by myself
I had the stars on my wall
14 was a gas for me
Batman on TV
I would cheer the super-heroes
They were all I wanted to be
I had the stars on my wall
18 I was guaranteed
I would lose my teenage dream
But it's so funny how I got to look
Like all the people in my comic books
Now I'm a star on my wall
