History

Agror is mentioned in old and ancient texts - in the Rajatarangini, written by Kashmiri historian Kalhana, it is known as Atyugrapura and in the works of Ptolemy it is the Ιθάγονρος (Ithágonros) town in Ούαρσα (Oúarsa). The Agror Valley Regulation (1891) later formally declared the rights of the Khan of Agror to be forfeit to Government. During British rule, the sole manufacture of the valley was cotton cloth, and trade was purely local, except for a small export of grain. The chief place in the valley was the village of Oghi, the headquarters of the Hazara border military police. ==References==
