History edit

During the British rule, the current district of Abbottabad was created as a Tehsil of Hazara District.[2] 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.
