As Sango is neither an incorporated community nor a [[census-designated place]], it has no clearly defined boundaries. It roughly covers an area stretching from [[U.S. Route 41A (Monteagle-Hopkinsville)|U.S. Route 41A]] to just beyond Interstate 24.

From before the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] to at least 1990, tobacco was the main cash crop in Sango. Besides burley and some flue-cured tobaccos, high-quality dark-fired (wood smoke-cured) tobacco was grown in Sango, as well as throughout Montgomery County. During the tobacco wars of 1904 to 1908 (between the farmers and the Duke tobacco monopoly), a key battle between the “Night Riders” (farmers) and agents of the tobacco monopoly took place at the intersection of Bagwell and Sango Roads, in eastern Sango.
