History
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 30 1994 by splitting it from Phu Wiang district[1]. It includes the Baan Non Nok Tha (TH: บ้านโนนนกทา) [2] (E 102°18'17" N 16°47'57"), and Ban Na Di (TH: บ้านนาดี) (E 102°18'04" N 16°48'02") Prehistoric Thailand archaeological sites.[3]
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[4]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official[5].
Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Si Bun Rueang and Non Sang of Nongbua Lamphu Province, Phu Wiang, Wiang Kao and Si Chomphu of Khon Kaen Province.
