History

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 February 1964, when three tambons, Kut Bak, Khok Phu, and Na Mong were split from Mueang Sakon Nakhon District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 14 November 1967.[2]

Administration

The district is divided into three sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 38 villages (mubans). Kut Bak is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Kut Bak. There are a further three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
