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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
