History

Golewali [3] is an ancient village located in Lap Muhar (Daaman-e-Muhar). Dodha(ڈھوڈا) is its older name. New name Golewali was established due to the name of Gola Khan (گولا خان) Gola Khan and different tribes came from (Afghanistan)before three centuries ago.

Location

Golewali is situated in the pale 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.
