Geography
Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Pla Pak and Na Kae of Nakhon Phanom Province, Khok Si Suphan and Phon Na Kaeo of Sakon Nakhon Province.
History
The minor district (King Amphoe) Wang Yang was established on July 1, 1997, when four tambon were split off from Na Kae district[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].

The district is subdivided into 4 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 27 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban), and 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
