The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 April 1995, when four tambons were split off from Chom Thong.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
