History

Nong Bua Lam Phu has a long and interesting history about 900 years back। The area was first known as Nong Bua Lam Phu Kabkaewbuaban and was a protectorate territory of Krungsrisatana ( Laos nowadays).
In 1574 the Thai King Maha-dharmaracha and his son (later to become King Naresuan) led a military expedition to invade Lan Chang ( Laos nowadays). Along the way, King Naresuan chose the area around Nongbua Reservoir as a place to rest his troops and prepare for the invasion of Laos. It was here that King Naresuan fell ill from small pox and had to return to Ayutthaya. A shrine was built in his honor at Nong Bua Reservoir to commemorate the campaign and it has become an historical site.

In 1767, two brothers named Phra Woa and Phra Ta, who lived in Vien Tiane, Laos, gathered their followers and fled the country। They came to Thailand and established a fort at Nongbua lamphu which became known as 'Phra Woa-Phra Ta Camp'. Shortly thereafter, troops from Vien Tiane invade Nong Bua Lam Phu remained uninhabited for years. However, remnants of the stone wall surrounding Phra War Phra Ta Camp remain and can still be seen today.

In 1895, during the reign of King Rama III of Ratanakosin, the governor of Nong Khai Province appointed Phrawichay adomkamutaket to rebuild and resettle Nakhonkhuenkhan Kabkaewbuaban and the city's name was changed to "Munag Kamutsaiburiram"

In 1906, King Rama V appointed Phra Wicharnkamutkit to the governorship of the new city and changed its name to "Muang Nong Bua Lam Phu"

In 1907 Nong Bua Lam Phu became a district of Udon Thani province. Udon Thani was a large province with a population of over one million people. In accordance with the federal government's decentralization policy to promote better public service through more localization of government, the province of Udon Thani was separated into two provinces.

And it became Nong Bua Lam Phu Province on December 1, 1993.
