Salbari (Bodo: सालबारि) is the sub division of Baksa district in Assam state of India.^[1]

History

A hundred years ago, there was no village named Salbari, but the place was surrounded by various sal plantations, leading to economic and population growth.

There were some old villages like Hudukhata, Samuagati, Kamlabari and Hasora. After some years, people moved to the Salbari sub-division and villages like Salbari, Madhapur, Udhiaguri Hadan, Thangabari, Aaohata, Palchiguri, Pakriguri,Uhiaguri and Gwjwnphuri were created. There was no unity, no social activities or organisation among them. There was also no marketplace near Salbari, so residents went to a one-day market around 8.5 kilometres (5 mi) away at Bahbari Bazaar, but sometimes people of Salbari had disputes with the larger groups or local people. Therefore, the people of Salbari had the idea of creating a local marketplace and started the Salbari Bazaar.
