The district was established in 1897, then named Lom Thuan and controlled by Monthon Ratchaburi. In 1900 the district office was moved to a temple area in Ban Prok. The district was named accordingly in 1917.[1] The office was moved again to Mae Klong camp, Mae Klong Subdistrict, and at the same time the name changed to Mae Klong in 1925.[2] In accordance with governmental policy that the capital district name should be the same as the provincial name, Mae Klong district was renamed "Mueang Samut Songkhram" in 1938.[3] Since 1964 the district office is in Tambon Mae Klong.
Thai local people still call Mueang Samut Songkhram by its old name Mae Klong.
Off the coast are the sandbanks of Don Hoi Lot famous for its endemic shell population of Solen regularis. The site has been listed as a Ramsar wetland since 2001.
