In 1908 the district was established as the minor district (king amphoe) Champako (จำปากอ),[1] which was upgraded to a full district the following year.[2] In 1917 the district was renamed Bacho.[3]
The district was part of Sai Buri Province, which was abolished in 1932. While Sai Buri District came to Pattani Province, Bacho was added to Narathiwat.[4]
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Narathiwat, Yi-ngo, and Rueso of Narathiwat Province, Raman of Yala province, and Kapho, Sai Buri, and Mai Kaen of Pattani province.
