Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Mueang Nakhon Phanom, That Phanom, Na Kae and Pla Pak.
Renu Nakhon was a Mueang which was converted into a district of Nakhon Phanom during the thesaphiban administrative reforms in 1907. In 1917 the district was renamed to That Phanom.[1] The historical name of the area was reused when a new minor district (King Amphoe) was created on May 1 1970 with the three tambon Renu, Phon Thong and Tha Lat from That Phanom district.[2] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on August 21 1975.[3]
The district is subdivided into 9 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 93 villages (muban). The township (thesaban tambon) Renu Nakhon covers parts of the tambon Renu and Phon Thong. There are further 8 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
