Surrounded by an L Shaped Karewa Yaripora as a habitable site appears to have been established somewhere around the 17th century AD as a central trading place with a cluster of villages connected by half a dozen roads coming from different directions. With multiple springs and a few fresh water streams flowing directly through the village the local population seems to have thrived as a tiny trading hub. People of the village belong to two ethnic groups one Kashmiri and the other Bombas, the later settling in the village in the fifties of the 18th century. Bombas speak Pahari Pothohari.Bomba (Tribe). Raja Sher Ahmad Khan was the last ruler of the Bomba tribe whose ancestors had founded the town of Muzaffarabad. He had fought the Khalsa state when it annexed Kashmir in 1818 and later on assisted the Khalsa governor of Kashmir against the Ghulab Singh family in 1846 but finally submitted when the former was actively supported by the British overlords. He along with his family was forced to leave Karnah and settle in Yaripora in the year 1856. He had sought to be allowed to be buried after his death at Karnah but neither he nor his family was allowed the wish by the rulers. He is buried within the shrine of Gaebi Shah Sahib located within the courtyard of the Jamia Masjid Yaripora.
