History
Bajaur was declared as a subdivision of the former Malakand Agency in 1960, and Mamund was established as a tehsil within the Bajaur subdivision. Bajaur was declared a Federally Administered Tribal Agency in December 1973.[2] Mamund Subdivision joined Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on May 31, 2018 with the merger of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. It was previously a tehsil before the FATA Interim Governance Regulation, 2018 was signed by President Mamnoon Hussain. With FATA's merger to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, its status was upgraded to a subdivision.[3]
