The minor district (king amphoe) Thung Saliam was established in 1957, when the two tambons Thung Saliam and Klang Dong were split off from Sawankhalok District.[3] It was upgraded to a full district in 1959.[4]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (mubans). The sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) Thung Saliam covers parts of tambon Thung Saliam, and Khao Kaeo Si Sombun the entire sub-district of the same name. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
