history
In the area of the Mueang Narathiwat there was originally a village with the name Menara ( Malay منارة , minaret ' ), which belonged to the autonomous Sultanate of Patani or, after its defeat by the Siamese King Rama I in 1809, to the semi-autonomous province of Mueang Sai Buri . It was later promoted to a tambon and assigned to the Mueang Ra-ngae . It was not until 1906 - during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) - subjected to the Siamese central administration. As a result of the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, the area remained with Siam (now Thailand) and was thus separated from the nearby Malay sultanates, which came under the British protectorate as Unfederated Malay States (and now belong to the independent state of Malaysia ).
As the Tambon Menara grew, it was decided to move the administration from Tambon Tanyong Mat to Menara and to promote the Tambon Menara to a province (Mueang) called Bang Nara ( บาง นรา ). In 1915 the city was renamed Narathiwat, but in 1917 the county was renamed Bang Nara again. Finally, in 1938, the name of the county was changed to Mueang Narathiwat.
Amphoe Mueang Narathiwat belongs to the area of action of Muslim-Malay separatists who are calling for an affiliation to Malaysia or the independence of a Patani Sultanate.
