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.

“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
