History
In the past, Nang Buat district covered a large area. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and the governor of Suphanburi agreed to separate the northernmost part and then created a new district named Doem Bang on May 16, 1911. They also added two tambons of Hankha district, Chainat Province and two tambons of Bang Rachan district, Sing Buri Province. In 1939 the government changed the district name of Nang Buat district to Sam Chuk, they decided to put the word Nang Buat after Doem Bang, so since that year the district is named Doem Bang Nang Buat.
The present district office is located on Chainat-Suphanburi Road, Tambon Khao Phra since 1995.

—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”

“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
