Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise): Phon Phisai and Rattanawapi of Nong Khai Province; So Phisai of Bueng Kan province; Ban Muang of Sakon Nakhon province; and Ban Dung of Udon Thani province.
The minor district (king amphoe) was split off from Phon Phisai District on 1 April 1995.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] With publication in the Royal Gazette on 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 69 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
