''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Sittang-Kyaikto Canal=

A navigable canal in Thaton District,
Lower Burma, 13 miles in length, running north-west and south-east
and connecting Wimpadaw on the Sittang river with Kyaikto, a sub-
divisional and township head-quarters in the west of Thaton District.
The canal was commenced in 1882-3, and was opened to traffic
towards the close of 1893, having cost about 10 lakhs. In 1894 the
lock at Wimpadaw collapsed, and a new lock was built at Mopalin on
the Sittang in 1897. There is also a lock at Kyaikto. An attempt was
made to extend the canal eastwards, with a view of carrying it on to
Moulmein, but the erosion of the sea-coast in the neighbourhood
caused the project to be abandoned.
