History edit
In 1902, coinciding with the King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)'s reign, Bang Khae had the status of a tambon in the newly planted amphoe, Nong Khaem. It took the name Tambon Lak Nueng (หลักหนึ่ง, pronounced [làk nɯ̀ŋ]).[3]
The name Lak Nueung, meaning "the first milestone", refers to the first milestone of Khlong Phasi Charoen, a khlong (canal) that flows through the area. It is a waterway dug during King Mongkut (Rama IV)'s reign bridging Bangkok to Krathum Baen of Samut Sakhon Province.
