To better cope with the problems caused by communist insurgents in northern Thailand in the 1970s, the government separated Tambon Noen Maprang from Wang Thong district to create a minor district (king amphoe) on 6 September 1976.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=93|issue=106 ง special|pages=17|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง แบ่งท้องที่อำเภอวังทอง จังหวัดพิษณุโลก ตั้งเป็นกิ่งอำเภอเนินมะปราง| url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2519/D/106/17.PDF| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718004624/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2519/D/106/17.PDF| url-status=dead| archive-date=18 July 2011|date=August 27, 1976|language=Thai}} It was upgraded to a full district on 1 April 1983.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=100|issue=50 ก special|pages=10–12|script-title=th:พระราชกฤษฎีกาตั้งอำเภอเทพสถิต อำเภอวังน้ำเย็น อำเภอเนินมะปราง อำเภอสวนผึ้ง และอำเภอเสนางคนิคม พ.ศ. ๒๕๒๖|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2526/A/050/10.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718004706/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2526/A/050/10.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 July 2011|date=March 31, 1983|language=Thai}}
