This municipality was established on 18 May 2014 by merging existing Makar and Panchanagar Village Development Committees (VDCs).

Again during the local election, the neighbouring VDC Dawanne devi and some parts of Dhurkot, Jamuniya, and Rupauliya were merged.

It is an emerging town of Nawalparasi (West of Bardaghat Susta) District that is developing rapidly with tourist areas.

Besides modern shopping, the traditional market called Hatbazar runs twice around the city area in two places: Wednesday in Chisapani, Friday in Hatbazar line, and Sunday in Dharma Basti, Tuesday in Paldana.

The central aspect of business in Bardaghat involves banking, education, transport, and hotel.

Daily a number of buses pass through Bardaghat which can easily be accessed from the TCN Chowk from which we can go to all parts of Nepal.

Bardaghat is set to be an educational hub for the western Nawalparasi with more than 50 private and government colleges.
