History

The minor district was established on July 15, 1996 by splitting it Ban Phai district.[1][2]

Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15, 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[3] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[4]

The township (thesaban tambon) Non Sila covers parts of the tambon Non Sila and Ban Han. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO), the non-municipal area of tambon Non Sila is administrated by a Tambon administration (TA).
