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. 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.
