History
Back in 1365 a first town (mueang) named Tranom (ตระนอม) was established, which was a subordinate of Nakhon Si Thammarat. During the thesaphiban administrative reforms of the early 20th century it became a tambon within the Sichon district. On March 1, 1939 it was made a minor district (King Amphoe), consisting of the two tambon Khanom and Thong Nian. The minor district was upgraded to a full district on December 11, 1959.
The third tambon Khuan Thong was created on December 25, 1963 with three muban from Thong Nian and two from Khanom.
The sanitary district (sukhaphiban) Khanom was established on December 28, 1945, which was officially gazetteered on January 28, 1957. On May 25, 1999 it was converted to a township (thesaban tambon), as all the sanitary districts were upgraded to a municipality.
Wat Kradangnga is the oldest Buddhist temple of the district, dating back to the Ayutthaya era.
