Sanghar (Sindhi: سانگھڙ; Urdu: سانگھڑ English: Sānghar) is a city in Sanghar District, Sindh, Pakistan. Sanghar is the headquarters of Sanghar District and Sanghar Taluka (a subdivision of the district).[2] The driving distance of Sangher from Karachi is 268 kilometers (166 miles).[3] It has road links with Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Mirpur Khas, Khairpur, Sukkur, Karachi and other major cities of Sindh.[4]

The surrounding area consists chiefly of semiarid land, a part of the great Thar Desert, and some cropped areas irrigated by the Mithrao Canal system, which feeds from the Indus River.[5] It is located in an agricultural area where rice, wheat, and cotton are mainly grown, but it is also home to several cotton-textile factories and is a local market town.[4]

Population of the city is 75,209 (2017).[6] This is the third most populous city of Sanghar district after Tando Adam and Shahdadpur.

It is not known when Sanghar was founded. However, it was a small village with a population of few hundred. It is generally believed that Sanghar was named after a pious fisherwoman Mai Sanghar.[7] During the British rule in India, the population of this village increased and it grew in a small town. When Sindh was separated from the Bombay Presidency in 1935, Sanghar earned the title of Taluka. In 1954 it was given the status of District Headquarter.[7][8]
