The area of Dan Makham Tia was a village more than 200 years. It was a border village of Mueang Kanchanaburi to Burma.
In the area had a short Makham tree (Tamarindus indica), so people called the village Ban Nong Makham Tia. Later was changed to be Dan Makham Tia.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on April 1 1990 by splitting of the three tambon Dan Makham Tia, Klondo and Chorakhe Phueak from Mueang Kanchanaburi district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on September 8 1995.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Mueang Kanchanaburi, Tha Muang of Kanchanaburi Province, Chom Bueng and Suan Phueng of Ratchaburi Province.
The important water resource is the Khwae Noi and Phachi River.
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 39 villages (muban'). Dan Makham Tia is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Dan Makham Tia. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
