The area was originally a tambon of Chatturat district. It was separated and together with tambon Wang Takhe became a minor district (King Amphoe) on April 17, 1978.[1] It was officially upgraded to a full district on January 1, 1988.[2]

There are three subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon), each covering the whole same-named subdistrict: Nong Bua Tawe, Huai Yae and Khok Sa-at. The remaining two subdistricts have a Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
