History

This area was the center of the Pattani Kingdom. In the reign of King Rama II, the king ordered the kingdom divided into seven cities (mueang): Pattani, Yaha, Yaring, Nong Chik, Ra-ngae, Raman, and Sai Buri. It was made a district in 1901. Pattani was the central district of Monthon Pattani when King Rama V created the monthon in 1906.

In 1917 the district was renamed Sabarang, the name of the central sub-district.[1] In 1938 the name was changed back to Mueang Pattani.[2]
