'''Thathri''' is a town and a [[notified area committee]] in [[Doda district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and union territories of India|union territory]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].<ref>[http://doda.gov.in/district/profilemain.htm Historical Origin Of District Doda] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120215230954/http://doda.gov.in/district/profilemain.htm |date=15 February 2012 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.mapsofindia.com/lat_long/jammu-and-kashmir/thathri.html Location - Latitude and Longitude of Thathri.]</ref> Thathri valley is located in the foothills of the [[Himalaya]]n mountains, about 85 km from [[Batote]]. Apart from having ample forests, the town contains many small streams flowing through its various parts. It is located on the banks of the famous [[Chenab River]] and the town area is spread over 1.50 sq. Km².<ref>[http://www.ulbjammu.org/thathri.php Thathri Municipal Committee - Urban Local Bodies Jammu]</ref>

==Etymology==
The word '''Thathri''' is derived from the Kashmiri word "Thath" (ٹہاٹھ) and according to some other historians, it is derived from the [[Hindi]] word "ठठेरा".

==History==
[[File:Thathri town 2016.jpg|thumb|left|Thathri town in 2016]]
[[File:Thathri Town.jpg|thumb|left|Thathri Town (East to West) in 2019]]
In ancient times, it was filled with the paddy fields of nearby villagers. As more and more people built their houses in place of these fields and finally it became a village. Over time, the population increased by people coming and settling here from nearby villages and also from places as far as Tral, Baramulla in Kashmir and the people who now settled in Thathri made it a center of business. The reasons for Kashmiri population settling here in the past in 17th or 18th century is matter of ambiguity between historians. However [[Sumantra Bose]] says it was repression by feudal class that drew people to the district of Doda.<ref name="sned">{{citation |last=Snedden |first=Christopher |title=Understanding Kashmir and Kashmiris |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s5KMCwAAQBAJ&pg=PR21 |year=2015 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-1-84904-342-7 |page=23}}</ref>
In 2011 the population census reported that Thathri contained at least 93 villages.
Thathri was formerly a part of Tehsil Bhadarwah, until it separated as a new Tehsil in 1981. In 2011 Thathri was upgraded to a town. On 23 July 2014 it was upgraded to Subdivision, and is now divided into five Tehsils as Thathri, Phagsoo, Kahara , Chiralla and Bhela.
