The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Klaeng district on May 31 1993^[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].
