In 1807, Mr. Betty became the judge-magistrate of Barisal. As the inhabitants in the southern part of the Sundarban increased during the rule of Betty, Mirzaganj thana was formed with Patuakhali in 1812. Later, in 1817, four separate munsiff chouki (outpost) were established in Barisal for the proper implementation of the civilian rule. These outposts are Baufaul, Kaukhali, Mehendiganj and Koter hat. Mr. Braja Mohan Dutta was the first munsiff of Baufaul outpost. On 1st June of 1860, the outpost was transferred from Baufaul to Laukati. Southern bank of the Laukati River was named as Kalikapur after the name of Kalika Prasad, son of landlord Hudoy Shankar. A city gradually grew here. Office of the Mahakuma Sadar was established on the eastern side of the Kalibari Pond.
