The name Si Bua Thong (lit "golden lotus") comes from a khlong (canal) flows through the area and has become an important water resource.

The area and its neighbour are home to many antiquities that indicate human settlement since the Dvaravati period.

[3] In the late Ayutthaya period, when the Burmese army invaded and passed through here, the locals rose up to fight.

A huntsman gathered people and restored the community of Si Bua Thong.

[3][4] The area is a lowland with a natural waterway, Khlong Si Bua Thong, flowing from the north to the south, making it suitable for agriculture.
