History

In 1917, the district was renamed Lumphuk after its central sub-district.[1] In 1953 it was returned to its original name, Kham Khuean Kaeo.[2]

When Yasothon was separated from Ubon Ratchathani province, Kham Khuean Kaeo was one of the districts which was assigned to the new province.[3]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise): Mueang Yasothon and Pa Tio of Yasothon Province; Hua Taphan of Amnat Charoen province; Khueang Nai of Ubon Ratchathani province; Maha Chana Chai of Yasothon Province; and Phanom Phrai of Roi Et province.
