On September 8, 1870, the French colonists established the Cái Bè Inspection Division.[9] On June 5, 1871, the Cái Bè Inspection Division was dissolved, and its territory was merged into the Mỹ Tho Inspection Division.[9] On March 12, 1912, the French established Cái Bè District under Mỹ Tho Province, based on land that was separated from Cai Lậy District in the same province.[9]
