History

"Mueang" Kabin Buri was an ancient city of Ayutthaya kingdom. The city hall located in Ban Hanuman. In 1906 the city hall was moved to Ban Paknam, the area of the Hanuman and Phra Prong Rivers joint together to be Prachin Buri River. On April 1 1926 the province was abolished and the two districts Mueang Kabin Buri and Aranyapathret became districts of Prachinburi Province.
