[1][2] The majority of Gandapurs live in Kulachi Tehsil including Kulachi city and its surrounding villages like Luni, Rori, Takwara, Maddi, Kot Zafar Baladasti, etc., and in some of the villages of District Tank like Bara Khel, Gara Baloch etc.
The center of their winter quarters developed into a town in the 19th century, probably because of the trading activities of the tribesmen between Afghanistan and India.
[1][2] The Afghan King Ahmed Shah Abdali named Gandapurs as Afghanpurs.
The Gandapur tribe took part in Pashtun tribal wars during the 18th century.
A part of the tribe also lives in Sur Kalay (سور کلے) in Ghazni Province of Afghanistan.
