The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 15 July 1996 by splitting off five tambons from Bang Mun Nak district.[1]

The Thai government on 15 May 2007 upgraded all 81 minor districts to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 54 villages (mubans). The township (thesaban tambon) Samnak Khun Nen covers parts of tambon Samnak Khun Nen. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
