History

In 1909 the government merged Kasem Sima and Utarupala Nikhom districts together and named the new district Utara Ubon. 4 years later, the district name was changed back to Kasem Sima.[1] The district office was moved to Ban Muang Sam Sip in 1917, so the district name was changed to fit with the new location. The government built a new the district office there in 1924. The present district office was rebuilt in 1993 in the same area.
