Larkano Municipal Corporation dates back to the mid-19th century, when the first Municipality Office building was constructed in 1855 at the end of Empire Road, initially serving as the office of the Deputy Collector. In 1900, Mr. Tupper became the first President of the municipality, and after Larkano was given district status in 1901, a proper Municipal Committee office was established in the building erected in 1885. The first municipal election was held in 1918, which brought Sirae Shah Muhammad Lahori as the first Muslim and democratic President, though his tenure was cut short by his untimely death.
