Chum Ta Bong ( _th. ชุมตาบง) is a district ("Amphoe") in the western part of Nakhon Sawan Province, northern Thailand.

History

The Chum Ta Bong community was established by the people from "Tambon" Wang Mueang, Lat Yao district in 1967. They had Mr. Bong Charawan (นายบง ชาระวัน) as their leader. The community was in "Tambon" Huai Nam Hom.

When the government established the minor district Mae Wong in 1992, Huai Nam Hom was included in the district. Later Huai Nam Hom was divided to be three "tambon", Huai Nam Hom, Chum Ta Bong and Pang Sawan.

Becoming effective on July 1 1997 "Tambon" Chum Ta Bong and Pang Sawan were separated from Mae Wong to become the minor district ("King Amphoe") Chum Ta Bong [cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=114|issue=Special 51 ง|pages=12|title=ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง แบ่งเขตท้องที่อำเภอลาดยาว จังหวัดนครสวรรค์ ตั้งเป็นกิ่งอำเภอชุมตาบง|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2540/E/051/12.PDF|date=June 25 1997|language=Thai] .
