Bang Khen wis established as an amphoe o Phra Nakhon province in 1897.
In 1972, the provinces o Thon Buri an Phra Nakhon wur combined an cried jointly Krung Thep Maha Nakhon. Admeenistrative units athin the caipital wur renamit as destrict (khet) an sub-destrict (khwaeng), replacin amphoe an tambon, respectively. Bang Khen thus became a destrict o the newly combined province. At that time it haed 8 sub-destricts.
