The Sufi saint Makhdoom Bilawal was born here in 1451. [6] Later, around 1520, Talti was the site of the battle where the Samma dynasty was decisively defeated by Shah Beg Arghun, who as a result of the battle became the uncontested ruler of Sindh. [4] In this battle, the Sammas were joined by Sehta and Sodha tribesmen in an alliance facilitated by Makhdoom Bilawal and other local religious leaders. [7] After the battle, Shah Beg encamped at Talti for three days. [7] He had Talti and its small fort razed, its crops destroyed, and its inhabitants massacred. [7]

Around 1874, Talti was described as a small town with an estimated population of about 900: about 250 were Muslims, mostly Khaskheli, and about 650 were Hindus, mostly Lohanos. [4] It had a small police station, a government vernacular school, and a dharamsala. [4] There was no significant industry in the town at the time apart from small-scale production of cloth and rugs. [4] Local trade consisted of ghee, grain, and oil, but there was no major long-distance trade. [4]

Less than 1km east of Talti, by the road to Bubak, is the 18th-century dargah of the Muslim holy man Shahab Uddin Shah Bukhari. [8] The tomb is well-maintained by the locals and was significantly renovated in the 2000s or 10s, and new āina-kāri decoration was also added at the same time. [8]

The 1951 census recorded the village of Talti as having an estimated population of about 690, in about 350 houses. [9] It had a Sanitary Committee at that point. [9]
