History

Originally, the area was Khwaeng San Thia (แขวงสันเทียะ). San Thia is Khmer, meaning 'a place to gather salt'. The name refers to the tradition of salt production in the area.

In 1900, Khwaeng San Thia was changed to a district and renamed Non Lao. The following year it was named San Thia. In 1919, the district name was changed to Non Lao again.[1] Finally in the phase of Thai nationalism under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, the district name was changed to Non Thai in 1939 to remove the reference to the Lao population in the name.[2]
