Non Khun was created as a minor district (king amphoe) under Kanthararom district on 1 September 1977, with the tambons, Non Kho, Pho, Bok, and Nong Kung.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 1 January 1988.[2]
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 80 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas. There are five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
