Population
The ancestors of most of Bo Sang's population are Tai Lüe who migrated from Yunnan province.
Toponymy
Its name comes from the locals built a well near the Phai Zang (ไผ่ซาง) (a species of bamboo). Hence called "Bo Zang" (well of Zang), later its name was corrupted to "Bo Sang".
The first element bo (บ่อ) means "well" or "no". The second element sang (สร้าง) means "create" or "produce".
