The Khaen Dong District's motto is "The city of iron wood and rubber, rocket festival, clear water, Kud Ta Lae Suan, Lamtakhong reservoir and Mun river Long island-Pak Tad Beach so beautiful, ancient city."
The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 1 July 1997, when it was split off from Satuek district.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts in Thailand were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 61 villages (mubans). Khaen Dong is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Khaen Dong. There are also four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
