History

edit

The tambon was named after the village in the area; however, such a village was later spilt off to create a new subdistrict, Phon Sawan, which is currently a tambon in Na Chaluai district and was further divided to establish a new administrative division, Non Sawan, where the Top Hu village is currently located.[1] Previously, the tambon was administered by its subdistrict council (สภาตำบล), but the council was later upgraded to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization of Top Hu on February 23, 1997.[1]

In 1972, together with six villages split from Na Chaluai, three of the villages in Top Hu were broke off to form a new subdistrict, Phon Sawan, which currently is a tambon in Na Chaluai district.[3]

Geography

edit

The tambon is located in the southern region of the Det Udom district, on the low river plain of the Lam Dom Yai River.[1]
