The history of this district is related with the history of lamjung , which lies to its south.

      Maximum area of the district was independent state under  the Ghale rule, before falling under Lamjung.

The state extended up to Mustang District district in the west , Sukha khola of of Chame khola in the east, Tibet in the north and Annapurna and Lamjung in the south. Ghale kings had made a palace locally called 'KHUYONG' between Ngawal and Ghyaru hill. Its remnants can be found atop the hill. Ghale people are supposed to be desended of same ghale kings. They arev desended of khursani ghale and banar ghale.
