Mongnawng was bound by Kengtung State in the east. The Nam Pang, an important river, crossed the state from north to south. Its capital was Mong Nawng.[1]
History
Mongnawng became independent from Hsenwi in 1851 under the rulership of the myoza Heng Awn. It was a tributary of the Burmese Kingdom until 1887, when the Shan states submitted to British rule after the fall of the Konbaung dynasty.[2]
