[edit] History

The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on March 31 1994 by splitting five tambon from Kranuan district. The establishment of the new district became effective on April 30.[1][2]

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[3] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[4]
