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.[2]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Senangkhanikhom, Pathum Ratchawongsa, Phana, Lue Amnat and Hua Taphan of Amnat Charoen Province, and Pa Tio and Thai Charoen of Yasothon Province.

Na Wong, Na Mo Ma and Na Yom are subdistrict municipalities which cover the full same-named subdistrict. There are further 16 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
