History

In 1846, the Mindat myoza was reassigned governorship to the town of Kanaung during the reign of Pagan Min. The newly renamed Kanaung Mintha would then overthrow the king in 1853 to install his older brother Mindon Min. Kanaung Mintha then became the crown prince, known for his role in modernising and attempting to industrialise the Konbaung Dynasty before his assassination.[2]

On 3 September 1973, the town of Kanaung was formally re-established as town within Myanaung Township.[1]
