Hazara Division Beautiful northern area

History of Hazara

Hazara, originally a district, underwent a significant transformation in 1976 when it was upgraded to a division. During this time, Mansehra acquired the status of a fully-fledged district, encompassing Mansehra and Battagram Tehsil. Later, in July 1991, Haripur Tehsil was separated from Abbottabad and established as an independent district. Consequently, only the former Tehsil of Abbottabad remained, which was designated as Abbottabad District.

In 2000, a restructuring took place, leading to the abolition of administrative divisions. As a result, the existing districts were elevated to the new third tier of government in Pakistan. Presently, the Hazara Division is divided into six districts, each with its own unique administrative jurisdiction.
