Na Tan area was separated from Khemarat district to create a minor district (king amphoe) on 30 April 1994.[1]
On 15 May 2007, all 81 minor districts were upgraded to full districts.[2] On 24 August the upgrade became official.[3]
Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Pho Sai and Khemarat. To the east across the Mekong River is the Laotian province of Salavan.
The important water resource is the Mekong.
The district is divided into four sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 64 villages (mubans). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
