The minor district (king amphoe) was created on 20 June 1968, when the four tambons, Puea, Chiang Klang, Chiang Khan, and Na Rai Luang, were split off from Thung Chang district.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=85|issue=54 ง|pages=1755|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง แบ่งท้องที่ตั้งเป็นกิ่งอำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2511/D/054/1755.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324104321/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2511/D/054/1755.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 24, 2012|date=June 18, 1968|language=Thai}} It was upgraded to a full district on 16 November 1971.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=88|issue=123 ก|pages=745–748|script-title=th:พระราชกฤษฎีกาตั้งอำเภอปลาปาก อำเภอเชียงกลาง อำเภอปากชม อำเภอบ้านม่วง อำเภอพังโคน อำเภอดอนสัก อำเภอพนม อำเภอเวียงสระ อำเภอสังคม และอำเภอหัวตะพาน พ.ศ. ๒๕๑๔|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2514/A/123/745.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224230135/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2514/A/123/745.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 24, 2012|date=November 16, 1971|language=Thai}}
Administration
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 59 villages (mubans). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) in Chiang Klang District. The first one is Chiang Klang, which covers parts of tambon Chiang Klang, Puea, and Phaya Kaeo. Another is Phra Phutthabat Chiang Khan, which covers tambons Phra Phutthabat and Chiang Khan. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
