History
The town was founded around 1550 by Kamal Khan Mirani, a member of Baloch Mirani dynasty and a direct descendant of Ghazi Khan, who laid the foundation of Dera Ghazi Khan. The region was part of Multan Subah of Mughal Empire. Around 1610, the town was taken from the Mirani rulers by the Jaskani Baloch, who held it until 1787. Abdun Nabi Sarai was appointed Governor by Timur Shah Durrani, but three years later, it was included in the Governorship of Muhammad Khan Sadozai, who transferred his seat of Government to Mankera. Pathans also settled the land during the Abdali era of Jahan Khan who was the chief of Durrani forces in the region.
