Badin is part of the region of the ancient heritage of theIndus Valley Civilisation, which flourished around 2500 BCE. Over the centuries, it came under the rule of several Muslim dynasties, including theMughals. The Mughal Empire established direct control over Sindh in 1592 following the defeat of local rulers. In modern administrative history, Badin was designated as a separate district in 1975, following its separation from Hyderabad District.[citation needed]
