Nonthaburi is over 400 years old, dating back to when Ayutthaya
was the capital. The town was originally located at Tambon Ban Talat
Khwan, a famous fruit orchard where the Chao Phraya River and various
canals pass through.
King Prasat Thong ordered the digging of a canal as a shortcut
from the south of Wat Thai Muang to Wat Khema because the old waterway
flowed into Om River to Bang Yai then to Bang Kruai Canal next to
Wat Chalo before ending in front of Wat Khema.
After the new shortcut was completed, the Chao Phraya River changed
its flow into the new route that remains today. In 1665, King Narai
the Great noticed that the new route gave enemies too much proximity
to the capital. Therefore, he ordered that a fortress be built at
the mouth of Om River and relocated Nonthaburi to this area. A city
shrine still stands there.
Later during the reign of King Rama IV of the Rattanakosin period,
he ordered the town moved to the mouth of Bang Su Canal in Ban Talat
Khwan. King Rama V then had the provincial hall built there on the
left bank of the Chao Phraya River. In 1928, the hall was moved
to Ratchawitthayalai, Ban Bang Khwan, Tambon Bang Tanao Si. It is
now the Training Division of the Ministry of Interior on Pracha
Rat 1 Road, Amphoe Muang, on the bank of the Chao Phraya River.
The building is of European architecture decorated with patterned
woodwork. The Fine Arts Department has registered it as an historical
site. The provincial hall is now on Rattanathibet Road.
