History

In 1859, Prince Thao Puttakhamphun (ท้าวปุตตะคำพูน ราชบุตร) founded a new city in the vicinity of the village of Woen Chai (บ้านเวินชัย) beside the Chi River, which he named Mueang (city of) Han Chai Cham Na (เมืองหันชัยชำนะ translation unknown.) In 1863, King Rama IV renamed the town Mueang Maha Chana Chai (Triumphant Victory.)[1]

The town became a district (amphoe) of Ubon Ratchathani Province in 1909, and on April 24, 1917 its name was changed to Amphoe Fa Yat (อำเภอฟ้าหยาด), because the district office was located in Fa Yat village, Fa Yat subdistrict.[2] On April 7, 1939, the name was reverted back to Amphoe Maha Chana Chai.[3]

On March 1, 1972, when Yasothon Province was established, Maha Chana Chai was one of six districts reassigned to the new province.
