History

The minor district (King Amphoe) Wang Wiset was established on July 15, 1981 by splitting off five tambon from Sikao district.[1] The first temporary district office within the temple (Wat) Rat Rangsan (also named Wat Ton Prang) was opened on November 2, 1981.

It was upgraded to a full district on May 21, 1990.[2]
