罗涡国（Lavo）的历史是在泰王国历史上极其重要的一段。该城邦国大致创建在以今天的华富里为中心的地域。其历史可回溯到三千五百多年前的冶炼青铜时代。

在她的许多年代中均深受印度文化的影响，后来她在被称为陀罗钵地的年代开始登上历史的舞台。自从该时代，罗涡为吉蔑人（高棉人）所统治，所以大量文化遗址都是高棉式的，一般将十五世纪称作泰国历史上的华富里时代，可见其重要意义。

最终大城王国创建，罗涡不再占主导地位，直到纳奈王（King Narai）登基。他建造新的宫殿并在此统率全国。

在纳奈王后，罗涡城邦再度逐渐荒废，直到十九世纪的孟固王（King Mongkut）才将她重新作为王城规建。

Known as "Lavo" during most of its history, Lopburi Province is one of the most important cities in the history of Thailand. The city has a long history, dating back into the prehistory period since the bronze age of more than 3,500 years ago.

Later, it was influenced by the art and culture of India in the 11th century when it entered the historical era. This first period under the influence of Indian culture was called the Dvaravati Period. Since that time, Lavo has been ruled by the Khmer, coming under the influence of their art and culture, in the 15th century, a time commonly called the Lopburi Period in Thai art history.
