The minor district (king amphoe) Huai Rat was created on 1 April 1990, when the five tambons: Huai Rat, Sam Waeng, Ta Sao, Ban Tako, and Sanuan were split off from Mueang Buriram district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 8 September 1995.[2]
The district is divided into eight districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (mubans). Huai Rat is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Huai Rat and tambon Huai Racha. There are a further seven tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
