It is bordered by India to the west, [[Khulna District]] and [[Satkhira District]] to the south, Khulna and [[Narail]] to the east, and [[Jhenaidah District]] and [[Magura District]] to the north. [[Jessore (city)|Jessore]] is the capital of the district.

Jessore district was established in 1781. It consists of 8 municipalities, 8 [[Upazilas of Bangladesh|upazilas]], 92 unions, 1329 [[mouza]]s, 1477 villages and 120 [[Mahallah|mahallas]]. [[Upazilas of Bangladesh|Upazilas]] are [[Abhaynagar Upazila]], [[Bagherpara Upazila]], [[Chaugachha Upazila]], [[Jessore Sadar Upazila]], [[Jhikargachha Upazila]], [[Keshabpur Upazila]], [[Manirampur Upazila]], and [[Sharsha Upazila]].

The district produces a variety of crops year-round. [[Date sugar]], called ''patali'', is made from the sap of locally grown date trees. It is cooked, thickened and crystallised using a traditional method. Patali is mainly produced in [[Khajura]], but many date trees are cultivated in the [[Keshabpur Upazila]] and [[Manirampur Upazila]] areas.
