history

The district of Chai Buri was initially set up as a subdistrict ( King Amphoe ) on June 5, 1981 , by separating the Tambon Song Phraek and Chai Buri from the Phrasaeng district. The name Chai Buri was chosen in honor of the first administrative officer of Phrasaeng Khun Chai Buri.

The subdistrict began its work on September 10, 1981, the office initially served as a viharn in Wat Samai Suwan, Tambon Song Phraek. The first head of the subdistrict was Wisut Tansutthiwanit. In 1983 the Ministry of the Interior selected two lots for the new administration building, one in Tambon Song Phraek and one in Tambon Chai Buri. However, since the first property tended to be flooded and it was not in the center of the district, the second property was selected on the recommendation of Napha Kanchonkirana, the head of the sub-district. In July 1984 the new administration building was inaugurated.

On July 4, 1994, the sub-district officially got full amphoe status.
