History

At the time of King Swasawke, king of the Innwa first dynasty, in the Myanmar year 763, the town was called "Nwa_Dho"(ႏြားဓုိရ္) as a village. It means theat Nwa = Cow  and Dho = Herd , so the village witch herd the cow said by the researcher. Some named the village as Nwa_To ႏြားတုိး meaning Nwa = Cow  and To = Prospered because the villager prospered by breeding the cow. There is a presumption as the name was change Nwa_Dho to Nwa_To to Natogyi according by the Shin_Pin_Tha_Dohn_Oo pagoda's bell inscription in 1267 in Myanmar year. It was demarcated by 6 wards, 64 village tracts and 186 villages by the order no of 103/49 branch(1) by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Religious Affairs at July 31, 1972.

(The natives call their town as Shwe_Toe_Myay meaning the land which may be prospered by gold and the natives are called Shwe_Toe_Tha meaning who live in Shwe_Toe_Myay(Natogyi)
