Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Mueang Mukdahan and Khamcha-i of Mukdahan Province, Khao Wong and Na Khu of Kalasin Province, Tao Ngoi of Sakon Nakhon Province, and Na Kae and That Phanom of Nakhon Phanom Province.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on April 1 1977, when the three tambon Dong Luang, Kok Tum and Nong Bua were split off from Na Kae district.[1] When Mukdahan Province was created in 1982, Dong Luang was one of districts forming the new new province, and became reassigned to be a subordinate of Mueang Mukdahan district. The minor district was upgraded to a full district on July 16 1984.[2]
The district is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 57 villages (muban). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas, and 6 Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
