The area of Nong Prue was originally the village Ban Nong Prue, Tambon Nong Ri of Bo Phloi district. Later it was upgraded to the subdistrict (Tambon) Nong Prue. The Interior Ministry split the two tambon Nong Prue and Nong Pla Lai from Bo Phloi district to established the minor district (King Amphoe) Nong Prue on April 1st, 1992.[1] The third tambon Somdet Charoen later announced to be included with the new district as well.[2] The minor district was official upgraded to a full district on October 11th, 1997.[3]

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Lao Khwan, Bo Phloi, Si Sawat of Kanchanaburi Province and Dan Chang of Suphanburi Province.

The district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 43 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Nong Prue covers parts of the tambon Nong Prue. There are further 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
