The village Karnol was founded by Khan Ameer-Ullah Khankhail. All village revenue from Karnol and Baralkot was given to the Khankhail family, as the sole owners. After 1965, when Qayyyum Khan became Minister, some of the land was transferred to individuals in Karnol and Brarkot. The Khans of Karnol have freely given land to the Pakistani government for offices like Nadra Office, PatwarKhana, and educational institutions. The Khankhail family remains the leading tribe of Karnol.
