History

eedit

The aurie o Bang Kapi wis ance a jungle an haes a history datin back tae Keeng Nangklao period when Chao Phraya Bodindecha (เจ้าพระยาบดินทรเดชา) led a troop tae fecht rebels in Champassack an Louangphabang an brocht back fowk tae settle here.

When it haed grown in size, Bang Kapi wis established as a amphoe o Phra Nakhon province. It wis ance vera lairge, but haes been split mony times tae shape new amphoe an destricts.

In 1966, the Huay Khwang sub-destrict an pairts o the Bang Kapi sub-destrict wur dividit aff tae shape amphoe Phaya Thai.

In 1972, Phra Nakhon an Thonburi wur jyned as the single province Krung Thep Maha Nakhon. Admeenistrative destricts in the caipital ceety wur chyngit frae amphoe an tambon tae destrict (khet) an sub-destrict (khwaeng), respectively. Bang Kapi thus became a destrict o the newly combined province, haein at that time 9 sub-destricts.

In 1977, the Sam Sen Nok sub-destrict wis muivit tae Huai Khwang Destrict.

In 1989, Lat Phrao an Bueng Kum wur dividit frae Bang Kapi an became new destricts.
