The area of Amphoe Bang Rachan was mostly part of the historical Mueang Sing. When the government re-established Mueang Sing, the area was divided within two districts - Bang Phutsa (now Mueang Sing Buri) and Sing. The district was renamed to Bang Rachan in 1939.[1]
The first district office was located on the right bank of the Noi river in Tambon Choeng Klat. In 1898 was moved to the left bank of the river in Tambon Sing area.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Sankhaburi of Chainat Province, In Buri, Mueang Sing Buri and Khai Bang Rachan of Singburi Province, and Doem Bang Nang Buat of Suphanburi Province.
The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon).
