History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on June 24, 1941, when the 6 tambon Khamcha-i, Nong Sung, Ban Song, Ban Kho, Ban Lao and Nong Ian were split off from Mukdahan district. Originally the district office was located in Khamcha-i subdistrict, but in 1949 it was moved to Ban Song subdistrict. In 1956 the minor district was upgraded to a full district. In 1982 it was one of the districts which formed then new province Mukdahan.
Administration
The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 87 villages (muban). Khamcha-i is a subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon), which covers parts of tambon Nam Thiang. There are further 9 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
Missing numbers are tambon which now form Nong Sung district.
