History
In 1972 historians explored the old city area of Mueang Phrom Phiram. They found remains of the city wall, Chedi basements and Sukhothai Celadon on the way of Phra Ruang road from Sukhothai in Tambon Si Phirom and Dong Prakham. As the road that continues eastward to Wat Bot and Nakhon Thai, the historians assumed it was the road for transportation between Sukhothai and Bang Yang.
Also King Trailokanat moved his troops passing Phrom Phiram to Phichai for the war with King Tilokaraj of Lanna.
The old location of Phrom Phiram was in Tambon Matum. It was created as Phrom Phiram district in 1895. The district office was moved to the right bank of the Nan River at Ban Yan Khat around 1950. When the government built the northern railway passing by Phrom Phiram district, the district office was then moved to Ban Krap Phuang (now named Ban Phrom Phiram), 500m from Phrom Phiram railway station. The district office was renovated in 1960. The present office was opened in 1976.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
