History
The area originally was Tambon Phala of Mueang Rayong district. From 1963 on the US military used the U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield, thus the community grew bigger.
The government created Ban Chang minor district (king amphoe) on 7 May 1976 by splitting two tambons from Mueang District. It was upgraded to be full district on 16 March 1985.
