The minor district (King Amphoe) Nong Yai was created on December 1 1975, when the three tambon Nong Yai, Khlong Phlu and Nong Suea Chang were split off from Ban Bueng district[1]. It was upgraded to a full district on July 13 1981[2].
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Wang Chan and Pluak Daeng of Rayong Province, Si Racha, Ban Bueng and Bo Thong of Chonburi Province.
The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 24 villages (muban). Nong Yai is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers the whole tambon Nong Yai. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
