Ngapudaw Township: History
During the Bagan Dynasty, the Mon town of Kyaik Padaw was recorded as one of the 32 towns under the administration of Pathein. Kyaik Padaw is thought to be located within Ngapudaw Township on the banks of the Pammawaddy River. However, the first concrete creation of the town of Ngapudaw would not be until the formation of British Burma in the 19th century after the Second Anglo-Burmese War. The township itself would be created in the late 19th century after the annexation of Lower Burma by the British.
