History

Tha Maka was originally part of Ratchaburi province, and named Lat Bua Khao (ลาดบัวขาว). 1903 it was renamed to Phra Thaen (พระแท่น), [cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=20|issue=28|pages=460|title=แจ้งความกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง เปลี่ยนนามอำเภอลาดบัวขาย แขวงเมืองราชบุรี เป็นอำเภอพระแท่น|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2446/028/460.PDF|date=October 11 1903|language=Thai] 1917 it received its current name Tha Maka.
