[edit] History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on March 31 1994 by splitting five tambon from Kranuan district. The establishment of the new district became effective on April 30.[1][2]
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[3] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[4]
[edit] Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the southwest clockwise) Mueang Khon Kaen, Nam Phong and Kranuan of Khon Kaen Province, and Chuen Chom and Chiang Yuen of Maha Sarakham Province.

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 34 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Sam Sung (เทศบาลตำบลซำสูง) covers the complete tambon Kranuan. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
