Kaeng Khro District

Kaeng Khro (, ) is a district ("amphoe") in the eastern part of Chaiyaphum Province, northeastern Thailand.
History.
The area was originally part of Phu Khiao District. It became a separate district on 13 August 1959.
The name of the district derives from the small river which flows behind the district office. Along the river bank many Ta Khro trees ("Schleichera oleosa" Merr.) grow. The people thus named the small river "Kaeng Khro" ("kaeng" แก่ง or แก้ง means 'small river').
Geography.
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Phu Khiao and Ban Thaen of Chaiyaphum Province; Mancha Khiri and Khok Pho Chai of Khon Kaen Province; and Khon Sawan, Mueang Chaiyaphum, and Kaset Sombun of Chaiyaphum.
Administration.
The district is divided into 10 subdistricts ("tambons"), which are further subdivided into 125 villages ("mubans").
