The minor district (King Amphoe) Pak Chom was created on September 1 1967, when the three tambon Pak Chom, Hat Khamphi and Chiang Klom were split off from Chiang Khan district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district in 1971.[2]

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Sangkhom of Nong Khai Province, Na Yung, Nam Som of Udon Thani Province.Na Duang, Mueang Loei and Chiang Khan of Loei Province. To the north is the Vientiane Province of Laos.
