Bago, formerly known as Hanthawaddy, is a city and the capital of the Bago Region in Myanmar. It is located 91 kilometres north-east of Yangon. The Burmese name Bago is likely derived from the Mon language place name Bagaw. Until the Burmese government renamed English place names throughout the country in 1989, Bago was known as Pegu. Bago was formerly known as Hanthawaddy, the name of a Burmese-Mon kingdom.
