The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 April 1992, when the five tambons: Chamni, Cho Phaka, Laluat, Mueang Yang, and Nong Plong were split off from Nang Rong district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 5 December 1996.[2]
The Chamni District's motto is "The three brook city, have many fish, jasmine rice, Chamnit Buddha image."
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 64 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
