This area was a part of Samat town in ancient Bengal. In the medieval period, today's Brahmanbaria belonged to Sarail Pargana. According to historical data, Pathan Sultan Shershah created the first parganas to facilitate revenue collection and administration. Sarail Pargana was created during the Sultanate period. Sarail Pargana sometimes became important for political reasons. In the best Bhuiya Masnad of Bar Bhuiya, Bengal, it is known from the genealogy of Ala Isa Khan that a Prince Kalidas Ghazdani of Baiswara State of India converted to Islam with Syed Ibrahim Malekululama (RA) and assumed the name of Solaiman Khan. Sulaiman Khan arrived in Bengal in 1534 AD. He was the first to receive the Jagir of Sarail Pargana since Sultan Ghiyas ud-Din Mahmud Shah. Sulaiman Khan's rival Pathan forces summoned him on a false treaty proposal and killed him. At that time Isa Khan was ten years old. Later, due to his talent, he became a great power in Bhatiarajya. The battle of Mughal forces with Isa Khan to protect the freedom of Bhati kingdom is recorded in the pages of history. Isa Khan established a temporary capital at Sarail at that time. Around 1581 AD, he shifted his seat of rule from Sarail to Rasanar Gaon and temporarily to Kishoreganj Jungle House as the sole ruler of Bhati Rajya.
