After the difficulties arising from the administrative point of view, it was given the status of a district in 1903 by the British officials by shifting the Tehsil headquarters located at Simga to Baloda Bazar. Since that time, the development blocks Simga, Bhatapara, Baloda Bazar, Palari, Kasdol and Bilaigarh were included under it.
