Panam Nagar, The gorgeous structures was rising in the last quarter of the 13th century. It is seemed to have been the city of Hindu capital city of Sonargaon. Panam City was the center of the upper-middleclass people of 19th century Sonargaon. Mainly Hindu cloth merchants lived here.After that Panam area formed part of Muslim city developed on the old city, and perhaps made up the place of residence of the early Muslim governors.

Panam City is closed to Folk Art and Craft Museum. When Mughal's conquered the Sonargaon in 1611, Panam City was linked with the main city area by three important bridges. Panam City still has these bridges. After the Indo-Pak war in 1965 and the Muslim-Hindu riot, Panam City has reduced into a vacant community. It is now in ruins.

Sonargaon is placed in 2008 Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites by World Monuments Fund.
