History

The original name of the main town was Ban Nong Sanom (บ้านหนองสนม), which was a village under Mueang Surin. In 1893 it was reassigned to Mueang Rattanaburi, the present-day Rattanaburi district.

The minor district (king amphoe) Sanom was established on 1 July 1971, when the five tambons Sanom, Khaen, Na Nuan, Nong Rakhang, and Phon Ko were split off from Rattanaburi District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 12 April 1977.[2]
