Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise): Non Sang, Si Bun Rueang, and Na Klang of Nong Bua Lam Phu Province; Kut Chap and Nong Wua So of Udon Thani Province.
On September 2, 1993, the districts of Nong Bua Lam Phu, Na Klang, Non-Sang, Si Bun Ruang and Suwannakhuha were separated from Udon Thani Province and were merged to create the Nong Bua Lamphu Province. Nong Bua Lam Phu District was renamed Mueang Nong Bua Lam Phu.[2]
The district is divided into 15 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 179 villages (mubans). The town (thesaban mueang) Nong Bua Lam Phu covers parts of tambons Nong Bua, Pho Chai, and Lam Phu. There are three townships (thesaban tambon): Hua Na, Na Mafueang, and Na Kham Hai. Each covers parts of the same-named tambon. There are a further 13 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
