==History== Originally, Bang Lamphu Lang was the name for the entire Khlong San area. Its name was changed to Khlong San during the reign of King [[Vajiravudh]] (Rama VI). It became part of [[Bangkok Metropolitan Administration|Bangkok]] in 1971 following the merger of Thonburi and Phra Nakhon provinces.
The name "Bang Lamphu Lang" means "lower place of [[mangrove apple]]s". It shares the same origin as [[Bang Lamphu]] on the Phra Nakhon side (Bangkok core), as both areas were once located along the [[Chao Phraya River]] and known for their mangrove apple trees (''Sonneratia caseolaris'', or ''lamphu'' in Thai) growing along the [[Chao Phraya freshwater swamp forests|riverbanks]]. These trees were also the habitat of [[fireflies]]. Today, as in Bang Lamphu, the mangrove apples and fireflies have disappeared, but the name remains in use for the area.
In the past, Bang Lamphu Lang (including other parts of Khlong San) was home to many large businesses, such as salt warehouses, fish sauce factories, wheat flour mills, sawmills, and tanneries. It was also the residence of several wealthy [[Sino Thai]] families, including the [[Wanglee family|Wanglee]], Pisolyabutra, and Kiangsiri families, as well as the influential [[Bunnag family|Bunnag]] noble family. Later, an Indian businessman, Ibrahim Ali Nana, purchased and rented land here to live and conduct business among fellow Indians, eventually creating an [[Indians in Thailand|Indian settlement]]. He was the ancestor of the Nana family, whose descendants include [[Lek Nana]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.sarakadee.com/2014/01/02/lampoo/|title=อนาคตของ "ต้นลำพู" กับ "ชุมชนบางลำพูล่าง" ในความทรงจำ|date=2014-01-02|accessdate=2019-09-13|language=thai|work=Sarakadee Magazine|first=Nannapat |last=Kanyana|trans-title=Future of "mangrove apples" and "Bang Lamphu Lang community" in memory}}</ref>
