Origins of name
Nagri Tutial or the town of the Tutials is named after a Dhund Raja (chief) Toota Khan, who was a son of Doomat Khan.
The Haro River cuts across the village of Nagri Totial.
The village lies at an elevation of 4,081 feet and has a unique story to tell. It has seen Hindus and Sikhs co-habit with the Muslims till the partition when they fled in large numbers to India.
Mostly hailing from the ‘Totialian’ branch of the Dhund (Abbassi) tribe (named after Raja Toota Khan, an Abbasi chief) in the Hazara division, the villagers of Nagri Totial have settled on a stretch lying south-east of Abbottabad up till Ghora Gali near Murree in the east. Some Qureshis, Awans, Bhattis also live here.
