History

The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 July 1971, when the three tambons, Lamae, Thung Luang, and Suan Taeng, were split off from Lang Suan district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 12 April 1977.[2]

The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 47 villages (mubans). Lamae is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
