At the establishment of the district on 1 November 1912, seven talukas were included in this district: •
Kandiaro •
Naushero Feroze •
Moro •
Sakrand •
Nawabshah •
Sinjhoro •
Shahdadpur The district was divided into two Sub-divisions, namely
Nawabshah Sub-division and
Naushahro Feroze Sub-division. The former comprised the three talukas
Shahdadpur,
Sinjhoro and
Nawabshah, while the later comprise the four talukas of
Kandiaro,
Naushahro Feroze,
Moro and
Sakrand. In 1953 the talukas of
Shahdadpur and
Sinjhoro became part of the newly established
Sanghar District. This left
Nawabshah Sub-division with only one taluka, so Sakrand taluka was moved from
Naushahro Feroze Sub-division to
Nawabshah Sub-division. In 1989, another part of the district, the talukas of
Nausehro Feroz,
Kandiaro and half of the taluka of
Moro, was cleaved from it to form the new
Naushahro Feroze District. A new taluka,
Daulatpur, was created, from half of the
Moro and some of
Sakrand taluka in Nawabshah district. The district then contained three talukas: •
Nawabshah •
Sakrand •
Daulatpur In 2005, after the local government election, a new taluka named
Daur was cleaved from
Nawabshah taluka and
Daulatpur taluka renamed to
Kazi Ahmed. The district then comprised four talukas: •
Nawabshah •
Sakrand •
Daulatpur (now
Kazi Ahmed) •
Daur In May 2014, a 5.0 magnitude earthquake struck the district, killing one person and injuring 70. ==Administrative==
