Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Mae Tha, Mueang Lampang, Chae Hom and Ngao of Lampang Province, Song and Long of Phrae Province.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on April 15 1976, when the three tambon Ban Dong, Chang Nuea and Na Sak were split off from Mueang Lampang district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on July 16 1984.[2]
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 37 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 5 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
