History

Suphan Buri is an old city. In the era of Ankorian king Jayavarman VII, inscription called Prasat Phra Khan (จารึกปราสาทพระขรรค์) was made and which mentions the name of Suvarnapura[1]. Later Suphan Buri become important city of Ayutthaya kingdom. According to Chinese Annals called "Da Ming Shi Lu" (『大明実録』), Nakharinthathirat (Intharatcha or Nakhon In), before ascending the throne of Ayutthaya, was a ruler of Suphan Buri and tribute to Chinese Emperor as a King of Supan Buri (Su Men Bang Wang or 蘇門邦王)[2]. Later in 16th century, Suphanburi become battle field of King Naresuan and Burmese crown prince[1].

This area was the center of Mueang Suphanburi, called San Khwaeng Suphanburi (ศาลแขวงสุพรรณบุรี). When the government created a district, it was called Wihan Daeng. Later the district name was changed to be Tha Phi Liang. In 1939 the district name was changed to be Mueang Suphanburi to correspong with the province name.
