History
Nong Luang (หนองหลวง) was an important border checkpoint since the Ayutthaya Era. In 1917 when the government changed the district status khwaeng to amphoe as in other provinces, Nong Luang was a district of Uthai Thani Province. The following year the district office of Nong Luang was moved to Noen Po and the district renamed Nong Khayang.
