==History== Nonthaburi was declared a city in the middle of the [[16th century]]. It was previously a village named Talat Khwan. During the reign of King [[Prasat Thong]], a canal was dug to create a shortcut for the flow of the Chao Phraya. The river changed its flow into the [[Khlong Om Non|new canal]], which is still the riverbed today. In 1665 King [[Narai]] built a fortress, as the shorter river course was giving enemies an easier route to the capital, [[Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province|Ayutthaya]]. The town was then moved near the fortress. From 1943 to 1946 the province was incorporated into [[Bangkok]].
