History
The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 30 April 1994 by splitting it from Phu Wiang district.[1] It includes Baan Non Nok Tha (th: บ้านโนนนกทา) [2] (E 102°18'17" N 16°47'57"), and Ban Na Di (th: บ้านนาดี) (E 102°18'04" N 16°48'02") Prehistoric Thailand archaeological sites.[3]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts in Thailand were upgraded to full districts.[4] On 24 August, the upgrade became official.[5]
