History

The region was first settled in 1934 by five household villagers who evacuated from Khum village in Warin Chamrap district; a new village was unofficially called "Nong Khee Kwai", after the feature of the pond nearby. Later in 1945, the community size increased to 60–70 households, and the district government of Det Udom then renamed it "Na Krasaeng," after the runnel name formed in the area, as well as officially registering it as a new village under the control of Som Sa-at subdistrict. After that, the village was transferred to be a member of the Thung Thoeng subdistrict, then to Nong Om and Na Charoen, until it obtained subdistrict status in 1983.
