History :
In the place of this suburb, there was an old village named Bhola Gram. Gulshan was founded as a planned model town in 1961 with its own Pourashabha (municipal corporation), while the neighboring Banani Model Town was founded in 1964. Gulshan Thana was established in 1972.[2] Gulshan Pourashabha was abolished in 1982.[ In 1984, Gulshan, along with Mirpur municipality, was absorbed into Dhaka.

The area was originally built with the purpose of being solely residential; however, over the years many commercial buildings have been set up in the area. Gulshan is now a mix of a serene residential area and also a city center with shopping malls and commercial buildings. The Gulshan city center only consists of Gulshan, Baridhara, Banani, and Niketan. The Thana of Gulshan also includes the neighborhood of Mohakhali to the southwest.
