It was founded in 1858 by Dinanath Sen, Prabhaticharan Roy, Anathbandhu Mallick and Brajasundar Kaitra under the name Dhaka Brahmo School. In 1872 its name was changed to Jagannath School. Kishorelal Roy Chowdhury, the zamindar of Baliat in Saturia upazila of Manikganj district, named Jagannath School after his father. In 2005, the Jagannath University Act-2005 was passed in the National Parliament and it was converted into a full-fledged university.
