The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on July 20, 1972, when the three tambon Kut Chap, Pa Kho and Chiang Pheng were split off from Mueang Udon Thani district[1]. It was upgraded to a full district on September 8, 1976[2].
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 94 villages (muban). There are four townships (thesaban tambon) - Chiang Pheng, Sang Ko and Tan Lian each covers parts of the same-named tambon, and Kut Chap covers parts of the tambon Kut Chap and Mueang Phia. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
