The site lies within the Royal Irrigation Department area in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi. The land formerly belonged to Wat Choeng Tha and Wat Na Bot. In 1955, the department acquired the temple grounds and nearby community land for official use, then built a new temple on its land to the east.

Originally called Wat Bang Phum, the temple was built in 1822 (B.E. 2365) beside Bang Phum Canal in Bang Phlap Subdistrict by Mon migrants who had settled in the Pak Kret area.

The Thai source links the name Wat Bang Chak to this move.
The temple’s history is uncertain. Information attributed to the Fine Arts Department’s Region 2 office in Suphan Buri says it was built in the late Ayutthaya period, around B.E. 2275 (1732), during King Borommakot’s reign. The account says he travelled by boat along the Chao Phraya River and Khlong Lat, now called Khlong Bang Kruai, and thought a temple should be built there. It also recounts that a Chinese junk had previously sunk in the area, killing many crew members, and that people believed the place was haunted.

In B.E. 2536 (1993), the Association of Siamese Architects awarded it an Outstanding Conservation Building award.
Ko Kret was formed when a shortcut canal was dug across a bend in the Chao Phraya River during the reign of King Thai Sa in the Ayutthaya period, in B.E. 2265. It was called Khlong Lat Kret Noi. (Khlong Lat Kret Yai is in Pathum Thani; it was dug across the Chao Phraya near the southern end of Sam Khok District and south toward Khlong Khwang Chiang Rak.) Later, the current changed direction and eroded the banks, widening the canal until the land at the point became an island. The island was originally called Ko Sala Kun. It flourished during the Ayutthaya period, as shown by the many temples in Ayutthaya style, but became deserted when the Burmese captured Ayutthaya. After King Taksin restored independence, he allowed Mon converts to settle there. Mon residents arrived both during the Thonburi period and during the reign of Rama II. Later, when Pak Kret District was established, Ko Sala Kun became a subdistrict called Ko Kret, giving the island its present name. People travel around the island by bicycle and motorcycle.
