Ang Thong was originally known as Muang Wiset Chai Chan. The original location of Muang Wiset Chai Chan was on the [[Noi River]]. Muang Wiset Chai Chan was a frontier outpost of Ayutthaya during the war with the Burmese, and the site of a Burmese encampment en route to the Battle of Bang Rachan in [[Sing Buri town|Singburi]].  During the Thonburi period, Muang Wiset Chai Chan was moved to the left bank of the [[Chao Phraya River]] at Ban Bangkaeo and was renamed "Muang Angthong."<ref name="Sawadee.com">{{Cite web |url=http://thailand.sawadee.com/angthong/ |title=Ang Thong at Sawadee.com |access-date=2007-10-10 |archive-date=2017-12-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214125042/http://thailand.sawadee.com/angthong/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
