Shahpur District, established in 1893 during the British Raj, existed in what is now Pakistan until 1960. From its inception until 1914, Shahpur served as the district headquarters. In 1914, the headquarters were relocated to Sargodha, although the district retained the name Shahpur. In 1960, the Sargodha District was formed, and Shahpur District was restructured as Shahpur Tehsil.[2]
