Prawet was once part of Phra Khanong District. Prawet was elevated to become a separate district in 1989. Part of Prawet, especially the Suan Luang Sub-district, was carved out to establish Suan Luang District on 14 January 1994.

Its name after [Khlong Prawet Burirom](/source/Khlong_Prawet_Burirom), a canal that flows through the northern area.

In October 2005 the plan to create the special administrative area [Nakhon Suvarnabhumi](/source/Nakhon_Suvarnabhumi_Province) around the new [Bangkok airport](/source/Suvarnabhumi_Airport) became public. Prawet was supposed to be one of five districts to be included in this new area.
