In the colonial era, Pyuntaza was administered as a township of Pegu District in Lower Burma, covering an area of 1,443 square miles (3,740 km2) and consisting of 232 villages.[2] The township's population in 1901 was 52,952 persons, having more than doubled since 1891 (23,132).[2] The western flank of the former Pyuntaza Township is hilly, while the eastern half is a flat rice-producing area.[2]
From 1920 to 1931, with the emergence of a national railway system extending north–south, Pyuntaza emerged as a railway center town, along with neighbouring Daik-U.[3] By rail, Pyuntaza was 88 miles (142 km) from Rangoon (now Yangon).[4]
During World War II, prominent Burmese barrister U Chan Htoon retreated to Pyuntaza as his place of retirement.[5]
