The town is governed by a [[Notified Area Council|notified area council]] (city council).

==Etymology==
The word ''Bhaderwah'' is derived from the Hindu Goddess [[Bhadrakali]]. Formerly known as ''Bhaderkashi'' the name of place got corrupted to Bhadarwah.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Excelsior |first=Daily |date=2012-07-26 |title=Bhaderwah beckons you |language=en-US |url=https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/bhaderwah-beckons-you-3/ |access-date=2021-06-14}}</ref>

== History ==
===Early History===
[[Vasuki Puran]] has described Bhadarwah in the following words:

''Bhadarwah like place can not be found anywhere even in Patal or [[Brahmaloka|Brahmalok]]. It is a unique place on the earth''

===Princely state===
In 1841 AD Bhadarwah became part of J&K state. When Maharaja Partap Singh was crowned as king of Jammu and Kashmir, he gifted Bhadarwah to his younger brother Raja Amar Singh as “Jagir”. The Jagir comprised Bhadarwah, Bhallesa and the vast area left of river Chenab from Thathri up to Khellani (Doda).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Excelsior |first=Daily |date=2016-02-06 |title=Past, present of Doda |language=en-US |url=https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/past-present-of-doda/ |access-date=2021-06-14}}</ref>
