Brief history
Sindh is the valley of Saints. Ancient Sindh was spread up to Multan (Now in Punjab Province). Islam was firstly spread through the preachers (Sahabas and Saints) who educated the people of this valley through their teachings. Since last several hundreds of years the region of Sindh from Nawabshah to Thatta is known as area of Sahteya (Literature & Education) and Matiari is the center of this region.
About the name Matiari, it is said that, before settling at here Sayed Meer Ali Shah was firstly settled in a village Mutaalo near to Shahdadpur, district Sanghar, then he settled at the place which is called Matiari, so these Sayeds were called the people of "Mutaalo", which changed to "Mutaalvi", and then "Matiari".
