The Maha Aung Mye Bonzan Monastery was built in 1822 by Nanmadaw Me Nu, the first queen of King Bagyidaw (1784 - 1846).

Inwa was the capital of Burma for nearly 360 years, on five separate occasions, from 1365 to 1842. So identified as the seat of power in Burma that Inwa (as the Kingdom of Ava, or the Court of Ava) was the name by which Burma was known to Europeans down to the 19th century
