History


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 That Phanom.[1] The historical name of the area was reused when a new minor district (king amphoe) was created on 1 May 1970 with three tambons, Renu, Phon Thong, and Tha Lat, from That Phanom District.[2] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on 21 August 1975.[3]
