During the time of British rule, the first chance for governing Maungdaw was given to Maung Nyo, grandson of a Arakanese king. He happened to join in the force as Jamadar (equivalent to the rank of a Captain) during the year 1825-26 till the period of signing Randabo agreement. He had to rule a portion of the area on the western side of Naf River. From his grandfather, in recognition of his activities in the war, he was also given the rule of big area on the eastern side of the Naf River.

A number of Bengalis from Chittagong were found setting in the western coast of the Naf River. Before the time of U Maung Nyo, there were guards only and all the area were inhabited by Arakanese (Buddhists) who had built Buddhist religious temples and pagodas there. Then, on the December 4, 1853, Jamader Aung Phroo, son of U Maung Nyo, was appointed chief of the area. He could manage to pay taxes of Rs. 71,953 to the British Govt. and was given much honour for it. He could collect taxes from the Bengali-dwellers of the area. According to historians, Chittagonian Bengali villages were found to be established during the year 1853.
