Town was established by Sindhi speaking people some about a hundred years ago, before the partition of India. Some about 10 years back Punjabi and other language speaking people bought land from Sindhi landlord (Mitha Khan) and built Houses and started living there and in a few years a major portion of Khoso village was constituted by non Sindhi people Most of these people were Pak Army Air force and Navy retd. personals. At present Khoso Village is composed of two parts one inhibited by Sindhi People and other inhibited by mostly Punjabi people.
