Kailasahar has produced and been shaped by several notable local figures, particularly in regional politics and history:
* **Birajit Sinha:** A prominent state politician and former cabinet minister in the Government of Tripura, hailing from the region. * **Moboshar Ali:** A recognized political figure and Member of the Legislative Assembly representing the Kailasahar constituency. * **Maharaja Maha Manikya:** While historical, local lore closely ties the ancient history of Kailasahar (believed to be a former capital of the Tripura Kingdom) to the early Manikya dynasty kings.
