History

Golay Wali [3] is an ancient village which is located in Lap Muhar (Daaman-e-Muhar). Dodha(ڈھوڈا) is its older name. New name Golay Wali was established due to the name of Gola Khan (گولا خان) who first time rehabilitated this area and gave name Golay Wali. Gola Khan (گولا خان) came from Ghaznavi which is a province of Afghanistan before two centuries ago. Later he settled in Dodha (ڈھوڈا) whose new name is Golay Wali. Some Famous Tribes are Gulshahi, Barry Khail, Golaykhail, Shahnawaz Khail & Mahaar. In the very Early British Rule the trend of Invading Weak Tribes was at its peak, as Bunch of Looters use to attack over Scattered tribes alongside the Salt range. The Iron man namely "Khalil Khan Mahaar" Grandfather of Haji Qadir Bakhsh and Sobedar Khuda bakhsh khan Mahaar Sacrificed his Life During a Long Encounter with invaders Came from South. His memorial Monument a "Pillar of Stone Rock" is still Present Near Dera Janukhail.

Location

Golewali is situated in the lape of the Salt Range Mountains also called Daman-e-Mahar. It starts from the hilly area of mountains and ends at plain fieldy areas near Bandial Shumali. It is at a little distance from famous Soon-Valley Sakesar which makes it more nice place. It is at the extreme border of District Khushab and Mianwali. So its culture is more like Mianwali than Khushab.
