History
Ban Dara Junction was the first railway junction on the Northern Line, with the branch to Sawankhalok railway station. The name comes together with the subdistrict itself. King Chulalongkorn used the railway to visit this junction and found out that this village had no name. Therefore, he decided to name this place Dara. So forth, the station's name is Ban Dara until this day.
