In the past, it was connected to Kalna through the Bhagirathi Teer Waddel Road.

In their family, the very ancient Radha Ballabh Thakur of that period is worshipped.

It is known from the Madhai Nagar copperplate inscription that on the 27th day of the month of Shravan (11 August 1203 AD), while staying near a place called Dharyagram, Maharaja Lakshana Sen donated land to a Brahmin named Govinda Devvarma on the occasion of the 'Aindri Mahashanti' ceremony at a place called 'Dharyagram' near 'Pundrabardhana Bhukti', 'Kantapur' within 'Barendra Bhoomi'.

Again, a recent researcher has removed the meaning of the word ‘Dhatri’ from ‘Bahera=Boyara’ and found that the place was a forest of ‘Bahera’ trees, in this sense, the name of this place was Dhatrigram.

[1] Dhatrigram is located on the agriculturally rich alluvial plains between the Bhagirathi, Ajay and Damodar rivers.

As per the 2011 Census of India Dhatrigram had a total population of 9,951, of which 5,137 (52%) were males and 4,814 (48%) were females.

Thirty-eight trains transport commuters from 45 stations in the Howrah-Katwa section.

[10] Dhatrigram railway station is 91 km from Howrah and situated on the Bandel-Katwa Branch Line.

[11] Dhatrigram has many primary and two higher secondary schools Saraswati & Jagatdhatri Puja is celebrated in Dhatigram and many cultural programmes are held during this occasion.
