The minor district (King Amphoe) Ban Fang was established on May 1 1975 by splitting the four tambon Nong Bua, Pa Wai Nang, Ban Lao and Non Khong from Mueang Khon Kaen district.[1] On March 25 1979 it was upgraded to a full district.[2][3]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Ubolratana, Mueang Khon Kaen, Phra Yuen, Mancha Khiri and Nong Ruea.
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 74 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Ban Fang covers parts of the tambon Ban Fang. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
