In 1472 a descendant of Amir Tamur Prince Shahabuddin came to Hazara, the area between Hasan Abdal-Attock to Kashmir came under his control. His descendants ruled most ofHazara until 1703. Gradually the Turks lost their control initially from Hassan Abdal/Attock and then from Haripur, which came the control of the powerful Gakhars. The Turks however kept their grasp over the areas between Abbottabad to Kashmir until the collapse of their rule in the 18th century. Now the descendants of these Turk rulers live in several villages of districts Haripur, Abbottabad and Mansehra. Prominent villages where they live are Bihali Mansehra and Manakrai Haripur. One of the descendant of these Turks was Raja Amanuullah Khan who became Speaker of NWFP assembly in 1980s.
Haripur (meaning Hari's town) was founded in 1822 by Hari Singh Nalwa, a Sikh General of Ranjit Singh's army. He was the Governor of Kashmir in 1822-23
