It is a part of the area covered by the [[Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority]] (KMDA).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cmdaonline.com/kma.html|title=Base Map of Kolkata Metropolitan Area|access-date=3 September 2007|publisher=Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928000049/http://www.cmdaonline.com/kma.html|archive-date=28 September 2007}}</ref> It is the headquarters of the [[Baruipur subdivision]].

==History==
Many ''[[janapadas]]'' grew up along the old [[Hooghly River|Bhagirathi]] channel from the ancient times till around the 16th century: [[Kalighat]], Boral, [[Rajpur Sonarpur|Rajpur]], [[Harinavi]], Mahinagar, Baruipur, [[Baharu]], [[Jaynagar]], [[Majilpur]], [[Chhatrabhog]] etc. [[Bipradas Pipilai]]'s ''Manasavijaya'', composed in 1495, mentions many places in this region. "[[Chand Sadagar]], a merchant character of the ''Manasavijaya'', reached Baruipur, from Kalighat, through the old Bhagirathi channel. From there he proceeded towards Chhatrabhog, and then traveling through Hatiagarh pargana reached the open sea". [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu|Chaitanyadeva]] (1486–1534) also went through this route. Travelling by boat to [[Puri]] he halted at the village of Atisara, near Baruipur. "His last stoppage in [[24 Parganas]] was at Chhatrabhog, now a village within the jurisdiction of the [[Mathurapur, South 24 Parganas|Mathurapur]] police station. Chhatrabhog seems to have been an important river-port on the old Bhagirathi channel". Rama Chandra Khan, the ''[[zamindar]]'' of Chhatrabhog, helped Chaitanyadeva to continue with his journey.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://wbplan.gov.in/HumanDev/DHDR/24%20pgsSouth/s24prg_main.htm | title = District Human Development Report: South 24 Parganas |work= Pages 3-4, Chapter I: South 24 Parganas: An overview| publisher = Department of Planning and Statistics, Government of West Bengal |access-date = 15 December 2019|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161005044029/http://wbplan.gov.in/HumanDev/DHDR/24%20pgsSouth/s24prg_main.htm | archive-date = 5 October 2016 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

===Commuters===
With the electrification of the railways, suburban traffic has grown tremendously since the 1960s. As of 2005-06, more than 1.7 million (17 lakhs) commuters use the [[Kolkata Suburban Railway]] system daily. After the partition of India, refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan and Bangladesh had a strong impact on the development of urban areas in the periphery of Kolkata. The new immigrants depended on Kolkata for their livelihood, thus increasing the number of commuters. Eastern Railway runs 1,272 EMU trains daily.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328319153 | title = Commuting and Metropolitan Development of Kolkata | first= Bhaswati| last= Mondal| access-date = 16 December 2019}}</ref>
