By whatever name it is known, there is no doubt that Butwal has been a center of settlement and trade since history.

There is a history of Nepal defeating the British in that fort two hundred years ago. Sen dynasty kings used it as a winter capital. Batauli is also associated with trade in salt and cloth.

After the expansion of Mahendra and Siddharth highways from the city center, Butwal got its modern form a hundred years ago.
