History

Jamshed Town was named after Jamshed Nusserwanjee Mehta. In 1922, he was elected president of the Karachi Municipality, an office which he occupied till October, 1932. He was born in 1886 in Karachi and died on 8 August 1952.

The federal government introduced local government reforms in the year 2000, which eliminated the previous third tier of government (administrative divisions) and raised the fourth tier (districts) to become the new third tier. The effect in Karachi was the dissolution of the former Karachi Division and the merger of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including Jamshed Town.
