There is a history of the naming of Nayapaltan. Before the 1950s this area presently named as Nayapaltan was called Ramkrisnapur. There were hardly 25 families residing in the two lanes of the area. One lane is through to Purana Paltan. The other lane was blind having less than 10 families. In 1952 (Year of Bhasha Andolon) the residents (Including Dr. Abdul Halim, Md. Rajab Ali, Md. Zohad Hossain, and others) of the area (Then Ramkrisnapur) sat together in several occasions to change the name of the area. The reason was, after partition of 1947 all the original owners of the area sold their houses and migrated to India and new owners populated and developed the area. The first proposal was to change the name from Ramkrisnapur to Allahrasulpur. In subsequent meetings this proposal did not get sufficient support. The second proposal was Nayapaltan. Immediately, this proposal was seconded and supported by all.
