History
In 1966 the government renovated Khai Bang Rachan (Camp Bang Rachan). They agreed to establish a new district to commemorate the battle at Bang Rachan and to encourage the people of Bang Rachan. The area was thus separated from Bang Rachan district and became a minor district (King Amphoe) on February 1 1972, then consisting of 5 subdistricts. It was officially upgraded to a full district in 1976. The sixth subdistrict Nong Krathum was created in 1980.
