History

The minor district (king amphoe) was established on 15 August 1967, when four tambons: Hua Taphan, Kham Phra, Nong Kaeo, and Kheng Yai were split off from Mueang Amnat Charoen District.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 17 November 1971.[2] In 1993 it was one of the districts which formed the new province, Amnat Charoen.[3]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Mueang Amnat Charoen and Lue Amnat of Amnat Charoen Province; Muang Sam Sip and Khueang Nai of Ubon Ratchathani Province; and Kham Khuean Kaeo and Pa Tio of Yasothon Province.

Administration

The district is divided into eight sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (mubans). Hua Taphan is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambons Hua Taphan, Nong Kaeo, and Rattanawari. There are a further seven tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

gollark: No, that would be noticeable and such, just make it so that neural implants have various useful features and are increasingly required to do anything like how smartphones are now.
gollark: I can't wait for 2032, when there's a magic pattern which makes your neural implant hide an object or something!
gollark: And might just make people move off cash, which would not help various things.
gollark: Probably. It would be nontrivial.
