Lao Suea Kok was separated from Mueang Ubon Ratchathani District to create a minor district (king amphoe) on 30 April 1994.[1]

On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 53 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and three tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
