The name is said to have been derived from Hao-Polyang, by which name the Apatanis still know it. Literally, "hao" means high or above and "polyang" means plain or plateau. It also serves as the commercial hub of Lower Subansiri district and boasts a large number of schools both government and private where students from all over the state come to study . The Apatanis are the natives of this place and also form the majority of the population. It is divided into several zones, including the Medical Colony, Engineering Colony and SSB gate.
