History Originally Amnat Charoen was a mueang under Mueang Khemarat. In the Thesaphiban administrative reforms around 1900 it was reassigned to Ubon Ratchathani and converted into a district. It was later named Bung after the central tambon. In 1939 it was renamed Amnat Charoen. In 1993 the new province Amnat Charoen was created, and the district was then renamed Mueang Amnat Charoen.
