Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise) Na Yung, Ban Phue of Udon Thani Province, Suwannakhuha of Nongbua Lamphu Province and Pak Chom of Loei Province.
The minor district (King Amphoe) was created on May 12 1969, when the two tambon Nam Som and Na Yung were split off from Ban Phue district.[1] The third tambon Nong Waeng was added on July 4 1969.[2] The minor district was upgraded to a full district on April 1 1974.[3]
The district is subdivided into 7 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 80 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Na Ngua covers parts of tambon Na Ngua and Si Samran; Nam Som cover parts of tambon Nam Som and also Si Samran. There are further 7 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
