In Mughal period, there was a garden place of Sheik Enayet Ullah, the landowner of Jamalpur Porgona,in this place. Sheik Enayet Ullah was an exceptionally beguiling individual. He procured a major zone in Kumortuli and included it in his garden house. Here he manufactured a delightful royal residence and named it "Rongmohol".

He used to appreciate here keeping lovely young ladies gathered from the nation and abroad, dressing them with ravishing dresses and costly trimmings. There is an adage that, the foujdar of Dhaka was pulled in to one of the wonderful young ladies. In 1785, the French exchanged the property to a French tradesman named Mr. Champigni, and retaken it at 1801. As indicated by Paris assention of 1814, the French asserted all their left properties at Dhaka, and in 1827 the property was again come back to the French.
