Oudong
was founded by King Srei Soryopor also known as (Barom Reachea IV) in
1601, after the abandonment of Longvek. Under the reign of King Ang
Duong (1841-1850), he constructed canals, terraces, bridges and erected
hundreds of pagodas in this region. Oudong was later abandoned by King
Norodom in 1866 in favor of Phnom Penh. (wikipedia).
