## History

[edit]

The district dates back to the Mueang Mukdahan, which was administered by the Monthon Udon Thani.[1] In 1907 it was made a district of Nakhon Phanom province.[2] On 27 September 1982 the southern part of Nakhon Phanom was split off to form the new province Mukdahan, and the Mukdahan district was renamed "Mueang Mukdahan" as the capital district of the new province.[3]

## Administration

[edit]

The district is divided into 13 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 144 villages (mubans). The town (thesaban mueang) Mukdahan covers parts of tambon Mukdahan and the entire tambon Si Bun Rueang. The sub-district municipality (thesaban tambon) Dong Yen covers the whole tambon of the same name. There are a further 12 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
