Tha It dates back to the late Ayutthaya period more than 200 years ago. Locals have a career in making bricks from baked clay. Hence, the name Tha It, literally means "brick wharf". There were many wharfs for loading and unloading bricks along the Chao Phraya banks.
In addition, Tha It Muslims are also famous for slaughtering and processing beef with exporting them to various places around the country to become famous local products in present.[1]
In the past, Tha It was also known as a place to plant good-tasting Marian plum.[2]
