The initial clash between India and Pakistan ended with a truce, and Hattian Bala was incorporated into the Muzaffarabad District.

The district of Hattian Bala was created in July 2009 under Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan's coalition government in Azad Kashmir.

The district's natural environment includes the valleys of Leepa, Khalana Chham, Ghail, Saina Daman Chamm, Dhani Shahdarrah, Charoi, Chinari, Jaskool, Chonoian, Bharyan (Lower Chonoian), and Chakar Salmia.

The assistant director of LG&RDD Hattian is the administrative officer for rural development, with two project managers at each center.

Two areas in the district are renowned for education, having high literacy rates: Leepa Valley and the village of Pahal, located near the LOC.
