History]
Golodass is Previously known as “Golo koi” due to its dense population and its natural beauty. It was said that the sun couldn’t reach the ground because of its dense gardens but it was turned into desert when heavy floods hit the area in 1905 and drowned it. In 1928 and onwards the Raja of Punial, His Highness Raja Anwar Khan decided to populate the upper barren portion of the village. The difficult task was to bring water to the village though rocky mountains and sliding areas of HindukushTerrains. The Raja tried twice to make a canal from Ishkoman river but failed. Then His Highness contacted Hub-e-Ali of Hunza who was considered to be an expert in making water channels. Hub-e-Ali accepted this offer from His Highness Raja Anwar Khan and Shift to Golodass with his family. After so many difficulties and strong efforts Hub-e-Ali and other 13 members successfully build the canal in 1935. They stayed there with their family and work hard to turn this barren land into cultivation and started helping His Highness Raja Anwar Khan in populating the village. Many other people from Hunza also migrated to the village in later years. Raja Mir Aman Khan, was the first school teacher in the village, came here from Bubur Village Punial in 1965. He served and educated the people of this area more than thirty years up to 1997. Raja Mir Aman Khan introduced the Golodass with second name Anwer Abad. The Gujars of the village were brought by Rajas as their servants. The people from Yasin and Phudar valley migrated there after the 1980s.
