== Etymology == The name 'Serampore' (also known as 'Srirampur') is believed to have originated from terms such as 'Sripur', 'Sri Ram', or potentially 'Seetarampore', which is associated with a prominent Ram-Seeta temple in the region. The modern city of Serampore was formed through the amalgamation of several villages, including Mahesh, Ballavpur, Akna, Sripur, Gopinathpur, Manoharpur, Chatra, Rajyadharapur, Naoga, Sheoraphuli, and Shimla-Sataghara.
