History

Originally, the district was created as a minor district (king amphoe) under Sao Hai district in 1938.[1] It was upgraded to a full district in 1953.[2]

The most people of Nong Saeng migrated from Vientiane. They established their new town near a pond surrounded by saeng trees, so they named their new town Ban Nong Saeng.
