History
The tambon Mae Wat was separated from Bannang Sata district on 9 June 1975 and formed the new minor district (king amphoe) Than To.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 13 July 1981.[2] The area had been the site of the Than To Prison of the Corrections Department. The prison was established in 1935 for political prisoners. It was closed in 1957. Later the government converted the area to Than To Estate.[citation needed]
