Nong Ya Plong was established as a minor district (King Amphoe) on July 16 1972, when the three tambon Nong Ya Plong, Yang Nam Klat Nuea and Yang Nam Klat Tai were split off from Khao Yoi district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on May 21 1990.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Ban Kha and Pak Tho of Ratchaburi Province, Khao Yoi, Ban Lat and Kaeng Krachan of Phetchaburi Province. To the west is Tanintharyi Division of Myanmar.
The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 31 villages (muban). There are no municipal areas (thesaban), and 3 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
