In 1909 the government merged Kasem Sima and Utarupala Nikhom districts together and named the new district Utara Ubon. 4 years later, the district name was changed back to Kasem Sima. The district office was moved to Ban Muang Sam Sip in 1917, so the district name was changed to fit with the new location. The government built a new the district office there in 1924.
