History
The district dates back to Mueang Chumphon Buri, which was converted into a district during the thesaphiban administrative reform around 1900.
On February 22, 1938 the eastern part of the district was split off to form Tha Tum district, the remaining district was considered to be too small for a full district and thus reduced to a minor district (King Amphoe) on March 4 of the same year. On February 20, 1953 it regained full district status.
