After partition of British India, Muslims settled here. There are fertile farmlands around it and a number of villages in the outskirts. The main town is separated from the bypass bus stop by farm-fields and orchards. The town is relatively peaceful as the crime rate is very low. EtymologyOral traditions related by local elders maintain that the town was named after an old woman with a crooked hand who in Sindhi language is called a 'roondee'. But some old men say Karoondi is also a full meaningful word mean a man who sleeps in C shape. Some Old tribers think there is a Canal in a C shape, so that's why old people called it Karoondi Wahh.
