The minor district (king amphoe) Waeng Yai was established on 3 January 1977, when the three tambons Khon Chim, Non Thong, and Mai Na Phiang were split off from Phon district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on 26 May 1980.[2]
The district is divided into five subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 50 villages (mubans). Waeng Yai is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers tambon Wang Yai. There are a further four tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
