history
Today's Laem Ngop County was initially set up as Ko Chang District in 1897. The administration building was in Ban Dan Kao on Ko Chang . The district controlled all of the islands in Trat Province. The location of the administration on an island was inconvenient for many residents of the mainland, so the government moved the administration building to Ban Laem Ngop, but kept the name. Later in 1939 the name of the district was renamed according to the location of the administration.
