History
During the British rule, the current district of Abbottabad was created as a Tehsil of Hazara District. After Pakistan′s independence from Britain on 14 August 1947, it remained a tehsil of Hazara until 1981 when the old Abbottabad Tehsil became a district, containing two tehsils - Abbottabad and Havelian. In recent years Lower Tanawal itself has been created as a tehsil in its own right.Demography
