In the middle of the eighteenth century when the railway was yet to come in Bengal, this area was full of grassland and lush green on the bank of Ganges river. The current station area was totally in the river bed. After 1750 it became populated. The myth was that Thakur Madangopal accompanied with Sri Radha used to take rest at this place on the way to Krishnanagar via Chandirampur. The people of the village was very much happy with this, and they started worshipping Lord Madangopal. From then, people started calling this place 'Madanpur' which means a place for Madangopal. Here, we still have Madangopal temple near Birohi.
