History
Lamphun district, one of the original districts of Surat Thani province, was administrated from the town of Ban Na, which is now the center of the Ban Na Doem district. On July 1, 1938 however the district office was moved to Na San and the district was renamed to Ban Na San one year later.
Becoming effective on April 15, 1976 the area around Ban Na was split off from Ban Na San district and formed a new minor district (king amphoe). The minor district was originally subdivided into the two tambon Ban Na and Tha Ruea. August 15, 1982 the tambon Sap Thawi was split from Tha Ruea, on July 1, 1983 Na Tai from Ban Na.
On May 21, 1990 the minor district was elevated to full district status.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
