The district was established on 30 April 1994, when five tambons were split off from Na Klang district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 11 October 1997.[2]

The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 51 villages (mubans). Na Lao is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Na Lao and Thep Khiri. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
