Five tambon were separated from Chakkarat district to create the new district on December 5, 1996. It was one of five districts named Chaloem Phra Kiat created on the same date to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ascencion to throne of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Non Sung, Chakkarat, Chok Chai and Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima.

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon). The township (thesaban tambon) of Tha Chang covers parts of the tambon Tha Chang and Chang Thong.
