Formation & Historical Background
The name “Sri Gading” is believed to be associated with early agricultural settlements and royal connections (the word “Sri” denoting honor).
It began as a rural farming area but gradually developed with the establishment of schools, industries, and housing projects.
In the 2000s, with the opening of the Sri Gading Industrial Park and higher education campuses, the area experienced rapid development.
