Soem Ngan was established as a minor district (King Amphoe) on August 16 1971 by splitting off the three tambon Thung Ngam, Soem Khwa and Soem Sai from Ko Ka district.[1] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on August 21 1975.[2]
The district is subdivided into four subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 42 villages (muban). Soem Ngam is a subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Thung Ngam, Soem Sai and Soem Klang. There are further four Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
