The name Krong Pinang is a Thai corruption of Kampung Pinang (Jawi: كامڤوڠ ڤينڠ, pronounced[kām.pōŋ.pī.nɛː]), its original Malay name means 'village of Pinang'. The word pinang means 'betel palm' or 'betel nut tree' (Areca catechu) in Malay.

The minor district (king amphoe) Krong Pinang was established on 30 April 1994, when four tambons were split off from Mueang Yala district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 8 October 2004.[2]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 23 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
