History

The minor district (king amphoe) Haui Thap Than was established on 17 January 1977, when the four tambons, Huai Thap Than, Mueang Luang, Phak Mai, and Kluai Kwang, were split off from Uthumphon Phisai District.[1] It started operations on 16 February with a temporary district office in temple (Wat) Phra Charangsan, which was replaced by a permanent office building in 1981. It was upgraded to a full district on 20 March 1986.[2]

Administration

The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 80 villages (mubans). Huai Thap Than is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Huai Thap Than. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
