history
Hua Sai was initially set up in 1904 under the name Khao Phang Krai ( เขา พัง ไกร ), the name arose from the central tambon Khao Phang Krai, in which the administration was located. When the administration building was relocated to Tambon Hua Sai in 1906 , the district got its current name. In 1924 the district was downgraded to a subdistrict ( King Amphoe ) under the administration of Amphoe Pak Phanang . In the same year, the administration was relocated to its current location in Muu 8 of Tambon Hua Sai. In 1937, Hua Sai was promoted to Amphoe.
