History
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, ).

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.
