History
Originally, the area of the district was part of Sichon district, Nakhon Si Thammarat province. In 1929 the two subdistricts Don Sak and Chaiyakhram were reassigned to Kanchanadit district. The district was created as a minor district (King Amphoe) on March 24, 1969 by splitting the two tambon Don Sak and Chonlakhram from Kanchanadit district. The citizen of tambon Chaiyakhram then asked to be included into the new district as well, which was done on September 1 of the same year. On November 16, 1971 it was promoted to full district status. The fourth tambon Pak Prak was created on July 14, 1978 from tambon Don Sak and Chaiyakhram.
