== Etymology ==
The name "Jalpaiguri" comes from the Bhutanese term ''je-le-pe-go-ri'', meaning a place where warm clothes are traded, suggesting a trading centre. Another suggestion is that it is from the word "Jalpai" meaning olive, and "Guri" meaning a place. The city of Jalpaiguri once had many olive trees.
