[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Kuchinarai and Na Khu of Kalasin Province, Dong Luang and Khamcha-i of Mukdahan Province.
[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on June 1 1969, when the five tambon Khum Kao, Song Plueai, Na Khu, Phu Laen Chang and Nong Phue were split off from Kuchinarai district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on April 1 1974.[2]
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (muban). Kut Sim is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Khum Kao, Kut Sim Khum Mai and the whole tambon Kut Pla Khao. There are further 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
