These mueang were Thai Buri, Ron Ka Ro, Klai, Mo Khlan, and Noppitham.[1] At its establishment in 1897 the district was named Klai (กลาย) and divided into the 10 tambons Tha Sala, Tha Khuen, Sa Kaeo, Klai, Thaiburi, Ka Ro, Noppitham, Hua Taphan, Mo Khlan, and Don Tako. The first district officer was Charoen (Mai Sap Nam Sakun), the district office was at the coast in Ban Paknam Thasung. In 1916 the district office was moved to tambon Tha Sala and the district was renamed accordingly.[2]
