It is bounded by other Bangkok districts (from north clockwise): [[Khlong Sam Wa]], [[Nong Chok]], [[Lat Krabang]], [[Saphan Sung]], and [[Khan Na Yao]]. Min Buri is the fifth largest district in Bangkok.
==History== The district was once a [[province]] established in 1901 during the reign of King [[Chulalongkorn]]. It consisted of [[Khlong Sam Wa district]], [[Lat Krabang|Saen Saep district]], [[Nong Chok#History|Nong Chok district]], and Chia Radap District (เจียรดับ). The name ''Min Buri'' (meaning 'city of fish') was chosen to go with the existing [[Thanyaburi district|Thanyaburi province]] (meaning 'city of rice'). Economic problems during 1930-1931 caused the government to disband various organizations to reduce expenses. Min Buri Province was eliminated and turned into [[amphoe]] (district) Min Buri and [[Lat Krabang|Lat Krabang district]] of Bangkok, and [[Nong Chok#History|Nong Chok district]] of [[Chachoengsao province]]. In 1957 part of Saen Saep subdistrict of Lat Krabang was transferred to Min Buri. In 1997, the northern part of Min Buri was split off to form the new Khlong Sam Wa District.
==Administration== The district is divided into two sub-districts (''[[khwaeng]]''). {|class="wikitable sortable" !No.||Name||Thai||Area<br/>(km<sup>2</sup>)||Map |- |{{center|1.}}||[[Min Buri subdistrict|Min Buri]]||{{lang|th|มีนบุรี}}||<div align="right">28.459</div>||rowspan=3|[[File:Khwaeng 1010.png|120px|Map]] |- |{{center|2.}}||[[Saen Saep subdistrict|Saen Saep]]||{{lang|th|แสนแสบ}}||<div align="right">35.186</div> |- !colspan=3|Total||<div align="right">63.645</div> |}
