Hyderabad District, Pakistan

Hyderabad District ( ), is a district of central Sindh locally called the Vichol Region of Sindh province of Pakistan. Its capital is the city of Hyderabad. The district is the second most urbanized in Sindh, after Karachi, with 80% of its population residing in urban areas.

History The East India Company occupied Sindh in 1843. They formed three districts in Sindh administratively: Hyderabad, Karachi and Shikarpur.

In 1901, a new taluka named Nasrat was created from Sakrand and Shahdadpur talukas.

In 1912, the northern side of the district separated to form Nawabshah district.

In 1975, the southern side also separated to form Badin district.

After the 1998 census, two new talukas were created in the district named; Hyderabad City and Latifabad talukas.

After the 2002 elections, a new taluka was created in the district named Qasimabad from Hyderabad City taluka.

The city of Hyderabad is where the district headquarters were located and the district government used to be seated. The last Deputy Commissioner of the district was Rizwan Ahmed. Until the early 1970s the district included all the four districts mentioned above as well as the Badin district. This administrative setup was demolished by former President Pervez Musharraf in 2001 when he introduced the local body government.

In 2005, three new districts (Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari and Tando Allahyar) formed as subdivisions of Hyderabad.
