History
The first Muslim governor of Mankera was Ahmed bin Khuzema who died there and is buried in Mankera Fortress.
Following the decline of Arab rule in Sindh, the Ghaznavid king Mahmud of Ghazni took possession of Mankera. The Abdali kings annexed Mankera and the adjoining areas and the Baloch gave way to Saddozai Pathans. The Pathan rule of the state ended with the famous siege of Mankera by Ranjit Singh which resulted in the forfeiture of Nawab Surbuland's claim to Mankera and his retreat to Dera Ismail Khan.
