Etymology
Hatirpool has an ancient history. The Bhawal Raja used to keep his tame elephants at Pilkhana. The elephants were taken to the wetlands through the Elephant Road and Hatirpool. There was a pool for transportation for Elephant. That's how the name Hatirpool came from.
Today
The pool has now gone, a long road in Hatirpool connects Katabon to Kawran Bazar.
