The minor district (king amphoe) Somdet was created on 16 August 1964, when the three tambons Somdet, Mu Mon, and Saeng Badan were split-off from Sahatsakhan district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 25 February 1969.[2]
The district is divided into eight sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 91 villages (mubans). Somdet is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Somdet. There are a further eight tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
