Birati, formerly known as "Biroti", derives its name from the Bengali word, meaning "taking a break". The area has a rich historical legacy dating back to ancient times. The Nimta-Birati region was a prominent Janapada during the era of Laksmikanta Roy Choudhury. After his demise in 1649, Birati became the capital of Laksmikanta's jagir and served as the administrative headquarters until 1716, when the capital was relocated to Barisha.
