History
In the past, the district was called Bang Kadi district after the name of central tambon, as required by the Law of 1897. The district office was located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya river. The office was moved to Tambon Parok, the west bank of the river in 1917. On June 25, 1938 the interior ministry changed the name of the district to be Mueang Pathum Thani district in keeping with decree of Rama VIII.
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from then west clockwise) Lat Lum Kaeo, Sam Khok, Khlong Luang, Thanyaburi and Lam Luk Ka of Pathum Thani Province, Don Mueang of Bangkok, and Pak Kret of Nonthaburi Province.
Administration
The district is subdivided into 14 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 81 villages (muban). Additional to the town (thesaban mueang) of Pathum Thani which covers the whole tambon Bang Prok there are two further municipal areas - the townships (thesaban tambon) Bang Luang and Bang Kadi. Bang Kadi covers the whole same-named tambon, Bang Luang covers parts of the tambon Bang Luang, Ban Chang and Bang Duea. There are twelve Tambon administrative organizations (TAO) responsible for the non-municipal areas.
