History

The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 July 1997, when four tambons were split off from Rasi Salai District.[1]

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

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Rasi Salai of Sisaket Province; Phon Sai, Nong Hi, and Phanom Phrai of Roi Et Province; and Maha Chana Chai of Yasothon Province.

Administration

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 44 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas; there are four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
