The Pasak Jolasit Dam that stops the Pa Sak River is located in this district. Phatthana Nikhom is a favorite tourist place due to Sun Flower fields in the winter.

The district was created during the premiership of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram.

The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on February 23 1962, when the five tambon Di Lang, Manao Wan, Khok Salung, Chong Sarika and Nong Bua were split off from Mueang Lopburi district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on July 16 1963.[2]

The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 88 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Phatthana Nikhom covering parts of the tambon Phatthana Nikhom, and Kaeng Suea Ten covering parts of tambon Nong Bua. There are further 9 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
