History
editTambon Rahan, Wang Cha-on, and Bueng Samakkhi were separated from Khanu Woralaksaburi district to form the minor district (king amphoe) Bueng Samakkhi on 30 April 1994.[1] The government selected the name Bueng Samakkhi to commemorate the unity of the people in the district.
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]
