In 1913 it was upgraded to Tamma-ngan Minor District (king amphoe), consisting of six sub-districts (tambons).[1] In 1917 it was renamed "Rueso".[2] On 1 October 1939 the minor district was upgraded to a full district.[3]

gollark: Like what?
gollark: The problem is *insufficient supply* and scalpers are a distraction.
