Mansehra was established as an independent district in 1976. It was previously a tehsil within the broader Hazara District.[3] In 1993, a former subdivision of Mansehra, Battagram, was separated as an independent district.[4] Similarly, in 2011, another subdivision of Mansehra, Kala Dhaka, was separated which is now known as Torghar District.
