Laotian people moved to establish a new village in the area of Ban Ko Ban Kao. Later people from Bo Phloi moved to the area. When the government established a new town, they named it Ban Lao Khwan.
The minor district (king amphoe) Lao Khwan was created on 1 October 1971, when the three tambons Lao Khwan, Nong Sano, and Nong Pradu were split off from Phanom Thuan district.[2] It was upgraded to a full district on 8 September 1976.[3]

The district is divided into seven sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 82 villages (mubans). Lao Khwan and Nong Fai are two townships (thesaban tambon), each covering parts of the same-named tambons. There are a further seven tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
Ban Nong Pradu is a village in the Nong Pradu subdistrict. It is known as the home village of the main character in the popular Thai martial arts film Ong-Bak played by Tony Jaa.[4]
