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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
