Originally the district name was Nang Buat. In 1911 when the government separated a part of Nang Buat district and established Doem Bang district, they also moved the district office to Ban Sam Pheng, Tambon Sam Chuk. In 1939 the district name was changed to Sam Chuk as the central tambon.[1]
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Si Prachan, Don Chedi, Nong Ya Sai and Doem Bang Nang Buat of Suphanburi Province, and Sawaeng Ha of Ang Thong Province.
The main water resource of Sam Chuk is the Tha Chin river or Suphan river.
The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon). Sam Chuk is also the only township (thesaban tambon) of the district and covers parts of the tambon Sam Chuk, Yan Yao and Krasiao.
