Etymology
Hadwala is composed of two words from Pothwari/Punjabi language; had means "half" and wala means "owner", so Hadwala means "owner of half". This name was given because the head of this village who belonged to Gujjar tribe owned half the lands of the area around this village in Union Council Bishandot.
The major population of the village consists of Gujar tribe.
Although the village is located in a remote area about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) away from the main road and it provides a difficult (albeit improved in recent years) situation in which to live, the quality of education the people have is remarkable. The road has been established since 2013.
