{{Short description|Administrative division of Fuvahmulah, Maldives}} |

'''Hōdhado''' is an administrative division of [[Fuvammulah]], [[Maldives]]. It is the smallest district in Fuvammulah sharing borders with [[Dhadimago]], [[Diguvāndo]] and [[Mādhado]]. |

'''Hoadhadu''' is an administrative division of [[Fuvahmulah]], [[Maldives]]. The district shares borders with [[Dhadimagu]], [[Dhiguvaandu]] and [[Maadhadu]]. Hoadhadu has been the smallest district in Fuvahmulah throughout history. During the late 20th century, the increase in population of the district led to pressure on land in the neighbouring areas. This led to a northern extension of the village, resulting in land from Dhadimagu and Dhiguvaandu wards being claimed to the village. Though this has resulted in a change of the believed-to-be areas in a disputed state, no formal changes have been made and area claims of different views exist.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.gov.mv/v2/media/documents/114..pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2009-08-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722223210/http://www.elections.gov.mv/v2/media/documents/114..pdf |archive-date=2011-07-22 }}</ref> |

==History== |

Hoadhadu is the first district in Fuvahmulah to have accepted Islam. The smaller size of the village with fewer people during the time of conversion may be the main reason for the village being the first district to be converted. What is clear from historical sources is that smaller districts of Fuvahmulah converted first and the larger districts last. After Hoadhadu it was Maadhadu, Maalegan, Miskiymagu and Dhashukubaa (the remaining smallest villages back then) which were converted. The larger ones, Dhadimagu, Dhoondigan, Funaadu and Dhiguvaandu are the last villages to have converted.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.meedhoolive.com/?p=1544|title = 白菜网站专业推荐}}</ref> |

Historically, many residents of Hoadhadu depended on [[fishing]] as the primary source of income, although today [[Retailing|retail business]] along with [[White-collar worker|white collar jobs]] have diminished the dependency on fishing. One of the traditional [[Harbor|harbours]] of Fuvammulah "Anbule Athiri" is located within Hoadhadu which explains the district's dependency on fishing. |

Hoadhadu is an administrative division of Fuvahmulah, Maldives. The district shares borders with Dhadimagu, Dhiguvaandu and Maadhadu. Hoadhadu has been the smallest district in Fuvahmulah throughout history. During the late 20th century, the increase in population of the district led to pressure on land in the neighbouring areas. This led to a northern extension of the village, resulting in land from Dhadimagu and Dhiguvaandu wards being claimed to the village. Though this has resulted in a change of the believed-to-be areas in a disputed state, no formal changes have been made and area claims of different views exist.[1]
