Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise) Bueng Na Rang, Taphan Hin, Bang Mun Nak of Phichit Province, Chum Saeng, Kao Liao and Banphot Phisai of Nakhon Sawan Province.
In 1939, the district office was moved from Bang Khlan subdistrict to Ban Tan subdistrict.[1] Later the same year, the district was renamed from Bang Khlan to Pho Thale, and the subdistrict Ban Tan also to Pho Thale.[2]
The district is subdivided into 11 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 98 villages (muban). There are two subdistrict municipalities (thesaban tambon) - Pho Thale covers parts of tambon Pho Thale, and Tha Sao parts of tambon Tha Sao and Tha Khamin. There are further 11 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
