==History== Its name after a fort was called "Pom Prap Sattru Phai", southward of [[Talat Nang Loeng|Nang Leong]] Ban Yuan (near Nopphawong Bridge in present day). It was one of the eight [[Fortifications of Bangkok#1852 forts|forts]] built along two banks of [[Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem]] according to the [[King Mongkut]] (Rama IV)'s orders. When Bangkok was expanding, the government therefore removed these forts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwl1SM8-ujE|title=CHN_243_เขตป้อมปราบศัตรูพ่าย|trans-title=CHN_243_Pom Prap Sattru Phai District|language=thai|date=2011-02-25|accessdate=2019-08-06|author=pongsakornlovic|work=youtube}}</ref>
