History

Khalabat Township was established northeast of the district Haripur, between the city of Haripur city and Tarbella Lake, when over 135 villages with 96,000 people were flooded, due to the construction of Tarbela dam. Residential construction started in 1964, according to an urban plan prepared by the Water and Power Development Authority of Pakistan. The layout design of Khalabat township is similar to sectors of Islamabad.
