[edit] History

Around 1889 there was an influx of Lao settlers into the Isan region after a large area of Thailand west of the Mekong River was ceded to the French. Among the villages established in this migration was Ban Pa Tio.

In 1933 the Highway Department built a road from Amphoe Yasothon to Amphoe Amnat Charoen and Amphoe Khemarat, which were then all districts of Ubon Ratchathani Province. The road passed through Pa Tio village, and led to its growth and expansion. In 1951, a petition was made for Pa Tio to be given minor district (king amphoe) status with jurisdiction over 3 (tambon): Pho Sai, Krachai, and Khok Na Ko, but it was not until August 17, 1966 that it was officially made so. It became effective of September 1.[1]

In 1969 Pa Tio was raised to district (amphoe) status, in Ubon Ratchathani Province.[2] When Yasothon became a separate province on March 1, 1972, Pa Tio was one of 6 districts reassigned to the new province.
