History
Formerly, Lat Phrao was a tambon of Bang Kapi district, in what was then Phra Nakhon province, before the unification of Thonburi and Phra Nakhon into the single administrative area of Krung Thep (Bangkok). Later it was a sub-district (tambon) of the Bang Kapi District (amphoe), after naming conventions were changed for administrative districts of Bangkok.
On 4 September 1989, Lat Phrao was split off from Bang Kapi along with Bueng Kum as new districts.
In 1997, the boundaries of Lat Phrao District were modified to balance the size and population of Bangkok's districts. The portion of Chorake Bua sub-district north of Khok Khram and Ta Reng canals was reassigned to Bang Khen district, and portions of the Lat Phrao sub-district were added to Wang Thonglang district.
On 24 January 2002, portions of Wang Thonglang District were reassigned to Lat Phrao Sub-district.
The word "Lat Phrao" literally means "slope of coconut". However, the true origin or intended meaning of the name remains uncertain. The district seal features a coconut tree sprouting two fresh leaves, suggesting that the area may once have been filled with coconut orchards.
