SITE Town (Urdu: سائٹ ٹاؤن) lies in the southern part of Karachi and was named after the Sindh Industrial & Trading Estate. SITE Town was formed in 2001 as part of The Local Government Ordinance 2001, and was subdivided into 9 union councils. The town system was disbanded in 2011, and SITE Town was re-organized as part of Karachi West District in 2015. Now in 2022, a new division of Karachi into 26 towns was announced.[2]

In 2020, Kemari District was carved out from Karachi West District. So SITE Town ended up being part of Kemari District.[3][4][5]
