Parasi District was created on 20 September 2015, when Nepal's administrative restructuring split the former Nawalparasi District into two: Nawalparasi (West of Bardaghat Susta), now commonly called Parasi, in Lumbini Province, and Nawalparasi (East of Bardaghat Susta), called Nawalpur, in Gandaki Province. The district's headquarters is Ramgram, whose former name Parasi is still widely used and gives the district its common name. The 2021 census recorded a population of 386,868, with Tharu, Bahun, Chamar, Magar and Muslim as the largest communities. No detailed history section exists in the district's Wikipedia article.
