History

The district Klang Mueang (กลางเมือง) was one of the three original districts established in 1896. In 1917, it was renamed Lampam (ลำปำ), following the name of the tambon housing the district administration.[1] The administration was moved to tambon Khuha Sawan in 1924. In 1938, the district was renamed Mueang Phatthalung.

Administration

The district is divided into 14 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 144 villages (mubans). The town (thesaban mueang) Phatthalung covers tambon Khuhu Sawan, and small parts of tambons Khao Chiak, Tha Miram, Prang Mu, Lampam, Tamnan, and Khuan Maphrao. There are a further 13 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
