The minor district (King Amphoe) was split off from Pa Sang district becoming effective on April 1 1995.[1].
Following a decision of the Thai government on May 15 2007, all of the 81 minor districts were to be upgraded to full districts[2]. With the publishing in the Royal Gazette on August 24 the upgrade became official [3].
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Pa Sang and Ban Hong of Lamphun Province, Chom Thong and Doi Lo of Chiang Mai Province.
The district is subdivided into three subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 24 villages (muban). Wang Phang is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers the same-named tambon. There are further 2 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
