Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Kandiaro Village

Head-quarters of the of the same name in Hyderabad District, Sind, Bombay, situated in 27 degree 3' N. and 68° 17' E., on the Nasrat canal. Population (1901), 3,916. The principal occupation of the inhabitants is agriculture, but the Hindus are engaged in trade, which is mainly in grain and cloth. The village is said to have been built during the reign of Jahangir. Before it was founded another was in existence close by, called Patoipur, which was abandoned owing to an unusual rise of the inundation waters. The site of the present village was then chosen as being more elevated ; and having at the time a large number of kandi trees growing upon it, the place took, it is supposed, from this circumstance the name of Kandiaro. Kandiaro has a technical school supported by the local board with an average daily attendance of 80 students, 6 other schools, of which 2 are for girls, and a dispensary.
