Neighboring districts are (from the north clockwise): Khok Pho, Mae Lan and Yarang of Pattani province; Raman, Krong Pinang and Yaha of Yala province; and Saba Yoi of Songkhla province.
The main river is the Pattani River, which runs through the town of Yala.
Originally only known as Mueang district, the district was renamed Sateng in 1917 to share the name with the central sub-district.[1] In 1938, the district was renamed Mueang Yala to conform with the common name of the central districts of a province.[2]
Five sub-districts are scheduled to be split off to form the new district Lam Mai in 2015.[3]
Mueang Yala is divided into 14 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 80 administrative villages (mubans).
