History
Bang Khla district was established in 1901. The district office was located in Wat Mai Bang Khla, nowadays in Tambon Ban Suan. Bang Khla is the name of the village Ban Bang Khla, which is located at the Khlong (canal) Bang Khla. As the district office was not in the center of the district area, the government moved it to Tambon Tao Sura, 5 km from the old location. Later they changed the name of the tambon to Bang Khla to fit with the district name.
