Hoadhadu is an administrative division of Fuvahmulah, Maldives. The district shares borders with Dhadimago, Diguvāndo and Mādhado.[1] Hōdhado 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 Dhadimago and Diguvando 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 the actual area of the ward is still to be decided.[2]
Hōdhado 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 Hoadhado it was Maadhado, Maalegan, Miskimmago and Dhashokubaa (the remaining smallest villages back then) which were converted. The larger ones, Dhadimago, Dhoodigan, Funaado and Dhiguvaando are the last villages to have converted.[3]
Historically, many residents of Hōdhado depended on fishing as the primary source of income, although today retail business along with white collar jobs have diminished the dependency on fishing. One of the traditional harbours of Fuvammulah "Anbule Athiri" is located within Hōdhado which explains the district's dependency on fishing.
