Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the south clockwise) Nong Song Hong and Ban Phai of Khon Kaen Province, Kut Rang and Na Chueak of Maha Sarakham Province.

The minor district (King Amphoe) Phueai Noi was established on January 17, 1977, with the two tambon Phueai Noi and Wang Muang from Ban Phai districts.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on July 4, 1994.[2]
