The area of the district was the central district Khwaeng of Mueang Khong Chiam, which is now Si Mueang Mai district. On January 1 1957 the three tambon Khong Chiam, Huai Yang and Pho Klang were split off from Khong Chiam to form the Ban Dan minor district (King Amphoe).[1] On December 11 1959 it was elevated to a full district.[2]
On September 14 1971 the district was renamed to Khong Chiam, while the former district Khong Chiam was renamed to Si Mueang Mai, as the historical center of Mueang Khong Chiam was located within this district
