While Hang Maeo is the name of a muban (village) in the north (in present-day neighbouring Khun Song).

Kaeng Hang Maeo is an ancient settlement with evidence of being inhabited for hundreds of years.

Later, more people immigrated to live from nearby provinces such as Prachinburi, Rayong, Chonburi via wagon or boat.

The next morning, a large fish was found stranded in the riverbed in front of the village.

The seal of Kaeng Hang Maeo Subdistrict Administrative Organization is a cat sitting under a tree.
