The minor district was separated from Chatturat district on July 1, 1997[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 north clockwise) Nong Bua Rawe, Chatturat, Bamnet Narong and Thep Sathit.
The minor district is subdivided into 3 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 33 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
