In the main town there is the famous and oldest Tomb dergah of Palan imam shah Bukhari. The source of income for the majority of population is agriculture and trading of its products. Ubauro was given the status of Tehsil (Taluqa) during the British Raj, and many buildings were constructed here for administration and revenue collection.
Ubauro has all four weathers including monsoon in July and August.
Before partition it was a small walled city with a majority Hindu population. The Hindus of Ubauro were well off and owned many lands and business not only in nearby areas but far-flung areas of the country, and they had political awareness during that era as well. There were many accessible gates to enter in the town and this town was constructed on some elevated place in order to protect it from floods of river Indus. This town is surrounded by lush green fertile lands, which grow many crops including the vegetable and fruits.
Before partition, this town was populated by Hindus, Chachars, Samas, Dahars, Dayas, Thaeems, Soomros, etc.
After partition the demography of Ubauro was completely changed and with the migration of Hindus many other Sindhi and Balouch tribes settled in Ubaurao and Muhajirs and Punjabis migrated and settled in this town.
