In 1897 the district was established, then named Patchin Sarakham (ปจิมสารคาม). 1913 it was renamed to Thakhon Yang (ท่าขรยาง).[1] In 1914 the governor of Maha Sarakham granted the new name Borabue (at first spelled บ่อระบือ, later shortened to บรบือ).
The district is subdivided into 15 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 203 villages (muban). Borabue is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Borabue. There are further 15 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
