There are no clear records but it is believed that construction of the temple began around the year 1857, which locals popularly called “Wat Hua Saphan” because the temple was located close to a bridge over a canal where steam train ran between Hua Lamphong train station and Pak Nam Samut Prakan
Construction of residences within the temple commenced during the period of Phra Vinyanuwatthikun (Luang Phor Wing Kitjakaro) as noted in the memorial book at the royal cremation ceremony.
