History
The district is named after Khlong San, a natural khlong ('canal').
This area was once home to many of the Bunnag nobles. It also served as a stop for overseas cargo ships before Bangkok Port was built.
Originally, Khlong San District was called Bang Lamphu Lang until 1916, during the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), when it became part of Thonburi Province. Its status was changed to king amphoe (minor district) in 1938, then upgraded back to amphoe (full district) in 1957 due to population changes. It became part of Bangkok after the merger of Thonburi and Phra Nakhon Provinces in 1971.
The intersection of Charoen Nakhon and Charoen Rat Roads (Chanroen Rat junction) was formerly the site of Pak Khlong San railway station, the terminus of the Maeklong railway line since 1904. In 1961, as Bangkok expanded, the government demolished the station and tracks to create Charoen Rat Road.
