Later, it also became the origin of Ayutthaya kingdom, as the first King of Ayutthaya Ramathibodi was prince of U Thong before.

U Thong district was created with the name Chorakhe Sam Phan in 1905. 1939 the district was renamed to U Thong.[1] In 1944, the government moved the central of district from Ban Chorakhe Sam Phan to the area of the ancient city.[2]
