Karachi Division in 2001, and the merging of its five districts to form a new Karachi City-District with eighteen autonomous constituent towns including SITE Town.

In 2011, the system was disbanded but remained in place for bureaucratic administration until 2015, when the
Karachi Metropolitan Corporation system was reintroduced.

In 2015, SITE Town was re-organized as part of
