[edit] History
The district was created on 31 May 1993 by splitting it from Bang Khla district.[1]
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[2] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Bang Khla, Mueang Chachoengsao, Bang Nam Priao of Chachoengsao Province and Ban Sang of Prachinburi Province.
The important water resource is the Bang Pakong River.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 32 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
