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

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 37 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
