==History==
In the early twentieth century, Santragachhi was a large village, with a part within Howrah municipality. According to a legend, the principal family there, the Chaudhuris, who were ''Barendra brahmins'',〔Barendra or Varendra was a region in northern Bengal.〕 started staying here 300 years from now.〔 Inspired by them, other ''Barendra'' families moved to the place.〔 The railway station of Santragachhi was named after this place, though this place is closer to another railway station at Ramrajatala.〔 Ramrajatala area was considered a quarter of the area under this village.〔
First vernacular school of the Howrah district was established in Santragachhi in 1857 with the help of a Government grant. For Indian girls, the first girls' school of the Howrah district with Indian management was established in Santragachhi in 1863, with a small grant from the Government.
Santragachhi produced good quality of arums (''ol'': (ベンガル語:ওল)). There is a variety of ''Amorphophallus paeoniifolius'' (elephant-foot yam of arum family) which is named ''Santragachhi'' after this place.
