Originally, the district was a minor district under the district Phu Khio. 1917 the minor district was renamed from Kaset Sombun to Ban Yang, the name of the central tambon.[1] On March 1, 1939 the minor district was upgraded to a full district and renamed back to the historical name Kaset Sombun.[2] Khun Nikon Nanthakit (At Watthanasuk) was the first district officer after the upgrade.
