The minor district was established on 1 May 1983, when the three tambons Pa Bon, Nong Thong, and Khok Sai were split off from Pak Phayun district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 21 May 1990.[2]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 48 villages (mubans). Pa Bon is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Pa Bon, Nong Thong and Wang Mai. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
