The name Kabang is a Thai corruption of kabae or kabe (Jawi: كاب), its original name in Patani Malay language. Kabae or kabe is a kind of Rambutan tree.
The area of Kabang district was separated from Yaha district to create a minor district (king amphoe) on 1 April 1991.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 11 October 1997.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise): Saba Yoi of Songkhla province; Yaha of Yala province; and Kedah state of Malaysia.
