The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 30 April 1994, when five tambons were split off from Mueang Sisaket district.[1] On 11 October 1997 it was upgraded to a full district.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Mueang Sisaket, Nam Kliang, Si Rattana, Phrai Bueng, and Wang Hin.
The district is divided into five sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 65 villages (mubans). Phayu is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Phayu. There are a further five tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
