History
Mueang Kui was an ancient city of Ayutthaya kingdom. In the reign of King Boromakot, Kui was 4th class city. The governor position was Phra Kui Buri. In Rattanakosin, King Rama II established a Mueang Bang Nang Rom, which had its city hall located Kui Buri. King Mongkut (Rama IV) renamed Mueang Bang Nang Rom to be Prachuap Khiri Khan, with the city hall still located at the same place. When King Chulalongkorn created Monthon Phetchaburi, Kui Buri was included. In 1898 the city hall was moved to Ko Lak bay and Kui Buri was downgraded to a tambon of Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan district. The minor district (King Amphoe) of Kui Buri was re-established on July 19, 1960 and officially upgraded to a full district on July 16, 1963.
