History
The district was established as an amphoe in 1897 during the reign of King Chulalongkorn. The original settlers were Muslims relocated from southern Thailand. In 1902, it became an amphoe of the newly established Min Buri province. Due to economic hardship during 1930–31, Min Buri Province was disbanded in 1931 and Nong Chok was transferred to Chachoengsao province.
District administration was later moved again to Bangkok in 1932 due to inconvenience of travel between Nong Chok and Chachoengsao. As of 2006, about 75% of the population were Muslims while 22% were Buddhists. The name Nong Chok means water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) swamp.
