According to many, Paribagh area is named after Pari Bano, daughter of Nawab Bahadur Sir Khwaja Ahsanullah.

[2] In this area in 1902 Khwaja Salimullah planned to build a garden house of Dhaka Nawab family.

Three years after starting work on the garden, he established a mosque in the area which still exists.

In 1952, after the government of Pakistan confiscated the property of the Nawab family of Dhaka, Khwaja Habibullah, another member of the family, started to build a residence called Green House in the area.

In every evening, makeshift food stalls line both sides of the street.
