History
Archeological excavations showed that the Lawa tribe already lived in the area some 1600 years ago. However, the first official town was founded in 1793.
During the thesaphiban reforms at the beginning of the 20th century the town (Mueang) was converted into a province. In 1932 the province was abolished and included into Maha Sarakham, and was recreated in 1947.
