Abstract:
This paper sheds light on the historical events of Magwe Township. Although Magwe had never been a center of administration, it played an important role in local administration. Appointments of Myowun, Myothugyi and Ywathugyi showed its importance. Even the palace intrigues reflected that area. On the other hand, the main profession of the natives was agriculture. The minority were traders and the King's servants. In time of droughts the natives suffered from famine. As a consequence, money lending and land mortgages rose. Even though Buddhists were the majority who had donated pagodas and monasteries, Pitakats were few. The influence of monks on the public was great. Hence, political events, administrative system, socio-economic system and the religious faith were closely interrelated and that interrelation reflected on the development of Magwe Township.
