History
The Treaty of Yandabo which ended the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826), was signed at Yandabo village in the township on 24 February 1826.[3]
According to the Myingyan People’s Strike Committee, from 11 to 14 March 2024, the Tatmadaw raided at least six villages in Myingyan Township, killing nine civilians, as part of the Myanmar Civil War. The committee also stated that several houses were burnt by the Tatmadaw, including 200 homes in Pyogan. This was in retaliation to an anti-junta ambush in Myingyan on March 11.[4]
