General Information
A province in the Lower North,
Uttaradit has a long history developing through
the years since pre-historic time.
The site of the original
town, then called Bang Pho Tha It, was located
on the right bank of the Nan River. It flourished
as a port for goods transportation. As a result
, King Rama V elevated its status into a province
and re-named it Uttaradit, literally the Port
of the North.
