It was built in the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), about in the year 1903. The King named it Lan Luang, which means "royal nephew", because it runs through the palaces of the six princes (all of them were sons of Prince Chaturonrasmi, the King's younger brother). While the bridge across Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem was named the King, Chaturaphak Rangsarit.

Previously, the area the road passed was considered a suburb and was a place to raise the royal buffalo. Hence, the name Sanam Khwai Road or Sanam Krabue Road (buffalo field road) unofficially.
