Kaura Namoda was founded in 1807 by Muhammadu Namoda who was a prince of Alibawa ruling family of Zurmi and an 19th century military genius.
Namoda fought alongside the Sokoto jihadists and was appointed Sarkin Zamfara. However, Zamfara never became an emirate. The town was an important regional center in the early 20th century, largely due to its location as the terminus of the railway.[2]: 249
The district has an annual temperature of 30.31oC, 82.13 rainy days, and 61.59 millimetres of precipitation.[4][5]
