The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on July 1 1997, when four tambon were split off from Rasi Salai district¹.

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts². With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official ³.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 44 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
