Mueang Chonbot (ชลบถ) was established at the beginning of the Rattanakosin era of around 1783. Its center was at Ban Nong Kong Kaeo. In 1914, it was converted to a district. In 1943 it was downgraded to be part of Ban Phai district.[1] In 1966, the district was re-established, consisting of tambons Chonnabot, Kut Phia Khom, Ban Thaen, and Wang Saeng.[2]
As of 2019[update], Thai sugar giant, the Mitr Phol Group, plans to construct a sugarcane mill and biomass power plant in the district. The initiative will occupy 4,000 rai (640 ha; 1,600 acres) of three of the province's neighbouring districts: Chonnabot, Ban Phai, and Non Sila. The operation will form part of the Ban Phai Bio-Hub Industrial Estate and is linked to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) project. Mitr Phol's plans have been met with some opposition from local residents.[3] Mitr Phol has pledged that the factory will have no adverse environmental effects.[4]
