Etymology
The name of the district comes from Daeng trees (ต้นแดง, Xylia xylocarpa Taub.)
History
Non Daeng village was upgraded to be Tambon Non Daeng of Bua Yai district in 1965. Later it was made part of the district Prathai. It became a minor district (King Amphoe) on April 1, 1989, when that tambon together with Non Ta Then, Sam Phaniang and Wang Hin were split off from Prathai. The fifth tambon Don Yao Yai was added on August 1, 1989. The minor district was upgraded to a full district on October 20, 1993.
