History
The region was settled in the early 1800s, the first village was named Dom Yai village. The conflict between the governor of Sisaket, Phraya Viset Bhakdee, and three royal nobilities, including Luang Thibet, Luang Mahatthai, and Luang Abhai caused those three clans with members of 2,150 people to evacuate to Dom Yai village in 1845 and the village was promoted to the town named "Det Udom", under the control of the city of Khukhan. After the reformation of the country's administrative division in 1907, 1912, and 1926, the town was governed by Monthon Isan,, and, respectively.In 1892, the town gained subdistrict status and was considered the capital of the former district, Prajim Det Udom, which was later merged with other three districts; Matchim Det Udom", Uthai Det Udom, and Dom Pradit, to create a new district, Det Udom district in 1912. While the Muaeng Det subdistrict is much older, the Sukhaphiban Mueang Det as the local administration unit was established in 1956. Effective 1999, it was upgraded to a subdistrict municipality, and then to a town municipality in 2007.
