It comprises 6 [[Community development block|Blocks]] of [[Araria district|Araria]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |title=Subdivision &amp; Blocks :: Araria District |url=https://araria.nic.in/subdivision-blocks/ |access-date=22 August 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt; The headquarter of the subdivision is in [[Forbesganj]] town.<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> During the [[British Raj]] the area was under the administration of a British district collector and municipal commissioner, Alexander John Forbes (1807-1890) of [[East India Company]]. Forbes had a bungalow at the same location. Consequently the area was known as &#039;residential area&#039; also abbreviated as &#039;R-area&#039;. Over time, the name transformed to &#039;Araria&#039; and the neighbouring subdivision came to be known as &#039;Forbesganj&#039;.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |last1=Prasad |first1=Bhuvaneshwar |last2=Agrawal |first2=Rajendra |title=Telecom racket busted in sleepy Araria district of Bihar |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Telecom-racket-busted-in-sleepy-Araria-district-of-Bihar/articleshow/19232676.cms |access-date=23 August 2021 |work=The Times of India |agency=TNN |date=27 March 2013 |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Health==<br /> Sub divisional Hospital Forbesganj is located near the Subdivision Office, Forbesganj&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |title=Sub divisional Hospital forbesganj |url=https://araria.nic.in/public-utility/sub-divisional-hospital-forbesganj/ |access-date=22 August 2021}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news |last1=Singh |first1=Rohit Kumar |title=Bihar govt, Araria civil surgeon accused of inflating Covid bed numbers amid health crisis |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bihar-govt-araria-civil-surgeon-accused-of-inflating-covid-bed-numbers-1802091-2021-05-13 |access-date=22 August 2021 |work=India Today |issue=Patna |date=13 May 2021 |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ==Blocks of Forbesganj subdivision==<br /> # [[Forbesganj (community development block)|Forbesganj]]<br /> # [[Narpatganj (community development block)|Narpatganj]]<br /> # [[Bhargama (community development block)|Bhargama]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> {{Adjacent communities<br /> | Centre = Forbesganj<br /> | North = <br /> | Northeast = <br /> | East = [[Araria]]<br /> | Southeast = <br /> | South = <br /> | Southwest = <br /> | West = <br /> | Northwest = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Purnia Division topics}}<br /> {{Blocks of Araria district}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Forbesganj Subdivision}}<br /> [[Category:Subdivisions in Araria district]]</div> Ilushiktka
