In 1952, some people migrated from [[Shopian]] to different places in search of food and safe shelter and few of them got settled at Toolihalan. Later, [[Government_of_Jammu_and_Kashmir|Government of Jammu and Kashmir]] constructed a footway from [[Shopian]] to Toolihalan. In 2014, deadly flood damaged footway badly.
