History


Mueang Phetchabun was an ancient frontier city, established in Sukhothai era. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab founded the forts on both banks of the Pa Sak River. Inside the old city is a Wat Mahathat, the symbol of an important city.

During the Thesaphiban administrative reform, Phetchabun Province was merged with Lom Sak, and became part of the Monthon Phetchabun in 1899. Monthon Phetchabun was included as part of Monthon Phitsanulok in 1904 and re-established in 1907. The monthon was again included in Phitsanulok in 1915.

Due to its strategic location, in 1943 Mueang Phetchabun was proposed as the new capital of Thailand, to be named Nakhonban Phetchabun (นครบาลเพชรบูรณ์). This proposal, by Prime Minister Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, was not approved by parliament, thus it continued to be a district as before.[citation needed]
