History
The area was occupied since prehistoric times, as there were found ceramics in Ban Mueang Yang and Ban Krabueang Nok. There are also small Khmer Prasats in Ban Mueang Yang and Ban Nang O.
The area of Mueang Yang was separated from Chum Phuang district and made a minor district (King Amphoe) on April 1, 1995.[1] The people of the minor district are mixed by original Khorat people and from the neighboring provinces Buriram, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham and Roi Et Province.
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts.[2] With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official.[3]
