Sargodha was established by the British as a canal-colony in 1903, and was initially spelt Sargoda.

Sargodha was badly affected by an outbreak of the plague in 1903, and experienced a milder outbreak in 1904.

Although it was a small town in the beginning, the British Royal Air Force built an airport here due to its strategic location. 

Sargodha mainly comprises flat, fertile plains, although here are a few small hills on the Sargodha-Faisalabad Road.

The River Jhelum flows on the western and northern sides, and the River Chenab lies on the eastern side of the city
