📜 Why Was Bandi Abbaspur Once Called Gopalpur? | History of Abbaspur Azad Kashmir

Bandi Abbaspur, a beautiful town located near the Line of Control in Azad Kashmir, was historically known as Gopalpur before the Partition of 1947. The name “Gopalpur” is believed to be derived from a Hindu landlord or influential figure named Gopal, who once resided in or owned land in the region during the Dogra rule or even earlier in the Mughal or Sikh periods.

In those times, it was common for villages and towns to be named after powerful landowners or religious figures. “Gopal” is also one of the names of Lord Krishna in Hinduism, making it likely that the name reflected either the presence of a Hindu community or a leader named Gopal.

After the creation of Pakistan in 1947 and the liberation of parts of Kashmir by local forces, the demographic and cultural landscape of the region shifted. To reflect the new Islamic identity and honor local figures, the name Gopalpur was changed to Abbaspur—most likely in memory of a respected person named Abbas, or symbolically referring to Hazrat Abbas, the revered figure in Islamic history known for his bravery and loyalty.

Today, Abbaspur is a peaceful town with scenic beauty, nestled in the hills of Poonch District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Though the name has changed, its historical roots still echo in local stories and old maps.
