The fort was built by Shahzada Souza, son of Mughal Emperor Shajahan of Subeda in Bengal. At the end of the Mughal rule, the Jhalokathi region became the main area of the loot of mugs and Portuguese pirates. To harass the pirates, Shahzada Suja, son of Subeda of Bengal, introduced Sujabad village in 1654 and built two forts here. One of the two forts was clay, and the other was made of bricks. Which at that time came to be known as the Inner and Outer Forts. Commonly, the two forts were built in one night, due to which residents once called The Sujabad Fort 'The Average of Ghosts' (Bhooter Gor). Today, Sujabad Fort is better known as 'old college.' Later, Shahzada Souza moved to the fort after losing to his brother Aurangzeb in the war.
