History
Formerly Bang Bon was a tambon of amphoe Bang Khun Thian in Thon Buri Province, prior to the merger of Thon Buri and Phra Nakhon into a single province, after which it was a sub-district of the Bang Khun Thian District.
On 14 October 1997, Bang Bon was split from Bang Khun Thian and established as a new district, and the district office opened on 6 March 1998. Its district office was the last office 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.
