History
The high ground along the district's boundary with Ban Dan Lan Hoi in Sukhothai province carries tin, lead and iron ore, and is continuous with the ranges of Tak province to the south-west. One of the metal-working sites recorded in that ground, Den Pang Hang, lies in the district. Iron tools were found in graves there, buried with the dead, and match those made at the smelting sites of the Mae Lamphan basin.
In 1938 the district was renamed from Mueang Thoen (เมืองเถิน) to Thoen, as only the capital districts were supposed to have the term Mueang in their name.
