[edit] History

Originally Amnat Charoen was a Mueang under Mueang Khemarat. In the thesaphiban administrative reforms around 1900 it was reassigned to Ubon Ratchathani and converted into a district. It was later named Bung after the central tambon. In 1939 it was renamed to Amnat Charoen.^[1] In 1993 the new province Amnat Charoen was created, and the district was then renamed to Mueang Amnat Charoen.
