The district was initially the tambon Thung Phra Khian (ทุ่งพระเคียน) of Hat Yai district, which was changed into tambon Na Mom in 1943. On 30 April 1981 it was made the minor district (king amphoe) Na Mom, together with three further tambon from Hat Yai District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 4 July 1994.[2]
