History
Rangsit was originally coined for agriculture. In the 1890s, a private company established here to a developed irrigation system, at the time the most advanced in the central Thai pool. Main artery of this system was the Rangsit Canal. Thus the land was very attractive for rice farming and parts of the Bangkok elite, the nobility and government circles invested in land. At the same time it came to the massive immigration of farmers and employees to edit the productive land, so rents and land value rose sharply.
As part of the ongoing industrialization of Thailand and the explosive growth of Bangkok in the 1970s and 80s to Rangsit then developed into a service and industrial location.
