History
Ranipur, a unique city situated between the Rohri Canal to the east and the Abul Canal to the west, was established before the Kalhora reign of Sindh (1701 to 1783 AD). The name "Ranipur", meaning Queen, is believed to be derived from tha princess of Darya Khan, who ruled over Thatta. The city gained prominence during British rule when it became a centre for an anti-Khilafat movement led by local Pirs to support the interests of the British Raj in Sindh. Today, Ranipur is a major town and Union Council within the Khairpur District.
