The minor district (King Amphoe) was established on August 15 1967, when the four tambon Hua Taphan, Kham Phra, Nong Kaeo and Kheng Yai were split off from Amnat Charoen district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on November 17 1971.[2] In 1993 it was one of the district which formed the new province Amnat Charoen.[3]
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.
The district is subdivided into 8 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 85 villages (muban). Hua Taphan is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of the tambon Hua Taphan, Nong Kaeo and Rattanawari. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
