An important sub-divisional town of Jalpaiguri District is Alipurduar. The town has special significance from tourism perspective since the Buxa tiger reserve is in close proximity of Alupurduar.
The name Alipurduar has three parts. The first part `Ali` is derived from the name of Col Hedayat Ali Khan who had leaved here and fought war with Bhutan. `Pur` meaning residence and word `Duar` has its origin in the name of the region `Dooars`. The original name was Alipur meaning the place where Ali leaved, the Duar was added to distinguish it from the Alipore of Calcutta. The subdivision is located at the extreme east of West Bengal bordering the state of Assam.

This town is an important division of the Northeast Frontier Railway.
