history

La-ngu was one of the three original districts of Satun , it was initially a small district ( King Amphoe ) under the administration of Thung Wa. When pepper production in Thung Wa declined in the 1910s, many locals moved to the agricultural district by La-ngu. In 1930 the government adapted the administration to the changed economic situation by upgrading La-ngu to a district and at the same time transforming Thung Wa into a small district. The original seven tambon were reduced to five in 1944. A sixth tambon was set up on August 1, 1978.
