History
From 6 March 1998, Phasi Charoen Sakha 1 district was combined with Lak Song sub-district, formerly part of Nong Khaem District, to form a new district, called Khet Bang Khae. The sub-districts of the new Bang Khae district then consisted of Bang Khae, Bang Khae Nuea, Bang Phai and Lak Song.[2]
Together with the creation of the district, the four sub-districts of Bang Khae were reorganised for administrative purposes.[3] In 2009 the subdistrict boundaries were adjusted again.[4]
Its name means "county of the hummingbird tree", likely referring to the past abundance of this plant in the area.[5]
