Gadhdhoo was the administrative island from 1962 to 1968 in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll. During World War II work of Gadhdhoo people saved Huvadhu Atoll from starvation.

It is unclear when humans first settled in Madaveli, but given the similarity of the dialect spoken on the island of Huvadhoo Bas to that spoken on the other islands of the Huvadhu Atoll, it is fair to conclude that they did so as early as civilization in the atoll can be documented.
