Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Chiang Dao, Phrao, Doi Saket, San Sai, Mae Rim, Samoeng of Chiang Mai Province and Pai of Mae Hong Son Province.
1892 the Khwaeng Mueang Kuet (เมืองกื้ด) was created, which was changed in 1894 to Khwaeng Mueang Kaen (เมืองแกน). In 1907 it was converted to the district (Amphoe) named San Maha Phon (สันมหาพน). It was renamed to Mae Tang in 1939.[1]
The district is subdivided into 13 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 128 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - San Maha Phon covers parts of tambon San Maha Phon and Khilek; Mueang Kaen Phatthana covers the whole tambon Cho Lae and parts of Intha Khin. There are further 11 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
