            In the Ayutthaya period the area of Samut Songkhram was known as Suan Nork and was a part of Ratchaburi. During the reign of King Taksin it was promoted to a province. It was the birth place of Queen Amarindra of King Rama I, who also initiated the name Suan Nok. The birth place of King Rama II in Amphawa district is now a Memorial Park.
