The estate was established over a century ago by descendants of the zamindar family of Bikrampur in the late 19th century. In the early 1800s, Raja Ram Sengupta, a member of the Bikrampur zamindar lineage, settled in Kirtipasha village. He built two houses—one for each of his sons. The elder son's residence, known as the 10-ana Kirtipasha Zamindar Bari, was larger, while the younger son's 6-ana estate was comparatively smaller and has since been destroyed. Portions of the elder son’s mansion still remain.The zamindar’s son was poisoned and died; his wife also died shortly after, and both were buried together. The estate still includes a natmandir, hall room, and large and small Hindu temples.
Two notable figures from this zamindar family are Rohini Roy Chowdhury and Tapan Roy Chowdhury.
