== Etymology ==
The name Kuakata originated from the word 'Kua'-the Bengali word for “Well” which was dug on the sea shore by the early Rakhine settlers in quest of collecting drinking water, who landed on Kuakata coast in the eighteenth century after being expelled from Arakan (Myanmar) by the Mughals.〔Majid, Mustafa. The Rakhaines, Mawla Brothers, Dhaka, 2005.〕 Afterwards, it has become a tradition of digging Well in the neighborhoods of Rakhaine tribes for water.
