Formerly Bang Bon was a tambon of amphoe Bang Khun Thian in Thonburi Province, prior to the merger of Thonburi and Phra Nakhon into a single province, after which it was a sub-district of Bang Khun Thian District.
On 14 October 1997, Bang Bon was split from Bang Khun Thian and established as a new district. The district office opened on 6 March 1998, the last of Bangkok's 50 districts to open, first established temporarily at the Thepyada Arak Fresh Market building, but later moved to a permanent location on Ekkachai Road.
The district has four sub-districts (khwaeng).
1. | Bang Bon Nuea | บางบอนเหนือ |
2. | Bang Bon Tai | บางบอนใต้ |
3. | Khlong Bang Phran | คลองบางพราน |
4. | Khlong Bang Bon | คลองบางบอน |
Agriculture is an important part of the area economy. Among Bang Bon's famous products are Nam Doc Mai mangos, coconuts, orchids, and lotus.[2]
