▲==History==
In Yonok Chiang Saen period, Nakhon Lampang was governed by [[Khmer Empire|Khmer]]. It was later colonized by [[Burma]] and [[Chiang Mai province|Chiang Mai]] in the period of King Thonburi about 250 years ago. Later, Lord [[Thipchang]] of Lampang has fought for Lamapng independence and established himself as Phraya Sulavalue Chaisongkram, King of Lampang in 1732.
Starting in the 7th century Lampang was part of the Dvaravati period [[Hariphunchai]] Kingdom of the [[Mon people|Mon]]. But it was King [[Mangrai|Mengrai]] of [[Lanna]] who incorporated the complete Haripunchai Kingdom into his kingdom in 1292. Lampang or Nakhon Lampang or Lakhon, was under Burmese rule after the fall of Lanna Kingdom from the 16th century to 18th century. During the uprising against Burmese rule by Siam's new kings in the late-18th century, a local Lampang leader became Siam's ally. After the victory, the leader, [[Kawila]], was named the ruler of [[Chiang Mai]], the former center of Lanna, while his relative ruled Lampang. The city continues to be one of the important economic and political centers in the north. Lampang became a province of Thailand in 1892.<ref>[http://www.thapra.lib.su.ac.th/objects/thesis/fulltext/thapra/Kiriya_Chayakul/Fulltext.pdf Burmese-influenced Architecture in lampang]</ref>
 
In 1764 Prince Kaewfa, son of Lord [[Thipchang]] governed Lampang and was the first ancestor of Na Lampang, Na Lamphun and Na Chiang Mai family. Prince Boonyawat Vongmanit was the last ruler of Lampang.
 
Lampang was announced as a province in Thailand in 1892 in the reign of [[King Rama V]].

According to local legend, [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]] visited the province. The god [[Indra]] worried that the people would not wake up by themselves to show respect to Buddha, and therefore woke them by transforming himself into a white rooster.
 
The provincial flower is the [[Heliconia]] (''Heliconia sp.''), and the [[list of Thai provincial trees|provincial tree]] is the [[Indian Elm]] (''[[Holoptelea integrifolia]]'').
