History
The minor district (king amphoe) was created in 1923, when it was split from Ron Phibun district. It was upgraded to a full district on 1 January 1953.[1]
In 1918, the southern railway line was opened to Padang Besar. This route also passes through Cha-uat. It has brought prosperity and trade to the local raising the level to make Cha-uat progress accordingly. Not long after, Thai Chinese settled down to do business. In those days, Cha-uat was one of the important economic zones of Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Later, when more roads were cut, the land transportation route became more convenient, because it can travel directly to the major cities. Cha-uat became just a transit town, but still hides good stuff that are valuable.[2]
Administration
The district is divided into 11 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 88 villages (mubans). Cha-uat is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Cha-uat and Tha Pra Cha. There are a further 11 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
