The minor district (King Amphoe) Tan Sum was created on September 18 1978, when the three tambon Tan Sum, Samrong and Chik Thoeng were split off from Phibun Mangsahan district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on January 1 1988.[2]
The old name of the area was Tan Chum (ตาลชุม), which means fertile land with plenty by Toddy palm trees (Borassus flabellifer). Later the name was changed to Tan Sum.
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Si Mueang Mai, Phibun Mangsahan, Sawang Wirawong, Don Mot Daeng and Trakan Phuet Phon of Ubon Ratchathani Province.
The important water resource are the Mun and Se Bok Rivers.
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (muban). Tan Sum is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Tan Sum. There are further 6 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
