History
Prior to the end of World War II, Kengtawng state was one of the substates of Mongnai State, in the Southern Shan States.
Keng Tawng was the town of Khun Sam Law, the hero of an ancient legend of the Shan people. It was also the birthplace of notorious usurper and warmonger Twet Nga Lu.[1]
There is a hydroelectric project in the area of the town. Places like the iconic Kengtawng Falls are threatened by the project.[2]
In the popular Shan folktale Khun San Law and Nan Oo Pyin, Keng Tawng is the hometown of the male character, Khun San Law.[3]
