Kotli Sattian

In the past during Ghakkar era there was an outpost located at a place where present police station of Kotli Sattian exists. These check posts during those times were called kot. The local village around that kot became famous by the name kotli and later by kotli sattian to distinguish it from other places known as kotli. It is located about 65 km from Rawalpindi.

Kot means in Kathwali language a fort, Kotli a police choka and Kotla means police station. Karore and Lehtrarh were mega cities in the time of Raja Chach as mentioned in book[Chachnama]. This land was inhabited by Rajpoots since prehistoric period. However, due to migration of people during different historic eras Satti Rajputs and Kethwal Rajputs tribes kept their hold in this area. At the time of partition in 1947 few families of Sikh and Hindus also left the area.
