[edit] History

The district was created on July 15 1996 by splitting two tambon from Khuan Kalong district[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].
