It has a population of about 1737 persons living in around 339 households.</ref>

==Etymology==
The name Kumirkola is probably derived from two Bengali words "Kumir" and "khola", indicating a crocodile<ref>মীর /kumir/ ' crocodile'</ref> and a rough surface. It is possible that the name could be derived from the dry lands of the village, alleged metaphorically to the rough textured skin of a crocodile.
