History edit

Wuntho state was founded before 1200. In 1885 the British annexed Upper Burma and established their rule in the region. Wuntho rebelled in 1891 but the British quelled the uprising.[2] As a consequence a force of 1,800 British soldiers under General Sir George Wolseley occupied the town of Wuntho. In 1892 the state was formally annexed by the British and incorporated into the District of Katha. In 22,December 2018, Wuntho was incorporated into Kawlin District along with Kawlin and Pinlebu. It was classed by the Burmese as a Shan state, but was never on the same footing as the Shan states to the east.[1]
