Malibagh or Malibag (Bengali: মালিবাগ, romanized: Mālibāg, lit.

Considered one of the most populated areas in Dhaka,[1] the area falls under the precinct of Shahjahanpur Thana in Dhaka South City Corporation wards 12 and 19[2] and is encompassed by the Dhaka-8 constituency of Jatiya Sangsad.

Over time, to distinguish their quarter from the other locality named Malitola in Old Dhaka, the gardeners of this area began referring to their neighborhood as Malibagh, a name that persists to this day.

[4] The current Abdul Aziz Lane in Malibagh is named after Abdul Aziz, who served as the municipal commissioner of Dhaka in 1921 and was a prominent social worker.

The Malibagh area experienced rapid growth with settlements in the 1950s.
