Einme Township (Burmese: အိမ်မဲမြို့နယ်; MLCTS: im mai: mrui. nai; [ʔèɪɰ̃ mɛ́ mjo̰ nɛ̀]) is a township of Myaungmya District in the Ayeyarwady Region of Myanmar. The area is believed to be where the Battle of Naungyo took place in 1539.[2] Einme Township is one of the few townships in the Bamar-majority regions of Myanmar that is not Bamar majority itself. Instead, Karen people comprise 52.67% of the township’s population.[1] The principal town is Einme.
Einme Township is located in south-central Ayeyarwady Region and comprises the northern portion of Myaungmya District. To its west, Einme Township is bordered by the Panmawaddy River and the Pathein District townships of Kangyidaunt Township and Kyaunggon Township. To the northeast, the township borders Pantanaw Township and Ma-ubin District. The township's eastern border follows the Pyamalaw River with Wakema Township beyond it. Myaungmya Township forms the south and southwest border following a few smaller streams like the Pula and Zagamya streams.[3] Einme Township is divided into 5 wards, 97 village tracts and 505 villages.
