History
The historical town of Saklund is populated on both sides of National Highway, which was called Rawr (راوڙ وارو رستو), in old times. Whereas in the periods of the Talpur dynasty and British rule, it was called Tapali Rasto (ٽپالي رستو). In the initial time of British rule it was called Naar waro rasto. Sindhu darya flows about 18 km on the western side of Sakrand. There are various such signs from where it's clearly recognized that this old town is populated at the present location.
Sakrand was established a tehsil of Hyderabad district on 1858 by the British Government. On 1 Nov 1912, it was included in newly established Nawabshah district (now Shaheed Benazirabad). Sakrand was previously a sub-division headquarter of Nawabshah.
An important historical town due to the ruling periods of Kalhora rule and Talpur rule, Major General Haig mentions Sakrand in his book (The Indus Delta Country), whereas Albert William Hughes in his book, Sindh Gazetteer, has also mentioned the historical importance of Sakrand
