Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi is the capital district ("Amphoe Mueang") of Nonthaburi province in Thailand. The city of Nonthaburi has 267,001 inhabitants, while the whole district has 348,553.

History

The district was originally named Talat Khwan. Simon de La Loubére, who was a French envoy extraordinary to the king of Ayutthaya, wrote in his book about Talat Khwan (Talacoan) as a principle place of the Chaophraya river side. [La Loubére, Simon de: "A New Historical Relation of the Kingdom of Siam", London: 1693, p.4] However it is unknown what year it was established. In 1917 the provincial administration of Nonthaburi was moved into the district, and thus the district was renamed to Mueang Nonthaburi. From January 1 1943 till May 9 1946 the province Nonthaburi was abolished and split between Thonburi and Phra Nakhon province, thus the district, which was then under Phra Nakhon province, was renamed to simply Nonthaburi.
