==History== It is named after Khlong Bang Ramat, a waterway that runs through the area. It is a ''[[khlong]]'' (canal) that separates itself from the [[Khlong Chak Phra]], which used to be part of the [[Chao Phraya River]].<ref name=wat/>
The name ''Bang Ramat'' means 'place of [[rhinoceros]] ['ramat' is a loanword from the [[Khmer language]]]. It was mentioned in the ''[[Kamsuan Samut]]'' or ''Kamsuan Siprat'', an ancient text written in the early-[[Ayutthaya period]]. It shows that Bang Ramat was a long-established community before the establishment of [[Rattanakosin]] or Bangkok.<ref name=wat>{{cite web|title=วัดอังกุลา มีหลวงพ่อดำกับลูกศิษย์|trans-title=Wat Angkula with Luang Por Dam and students|language=thai|date=2017-01-04|first=Prapatsorn|last= Chuwichian|work=Silpa-mag.com|url=https://www.silpa-mag.com/featured/article_5294}}</ref>
Originally, Bang Ramat was a ''[[tambon]]'', part of Taling Chan District of Thon Buri Province. Governmental administrative regulations were revised in 1985, promoting Bang Ramat to a subdistrict of Taling Chan District.<ref name=ka/>
