The government split off some parts of Mueang Phichit and Pho Thale Districts and formed the new Pho Prathap Chang minor district (king amphoe) on 24 June 1967. It was upgraded to a full district on 3 September 1973.
The district was named after the temple (Wat) Pho Prathap Chang, which was built by King Suea (Tiger King, Sanpet VIII, Suriyenthrathibodi) of Ayutthaya at his birthplace.
The district is divided into seven sub-districts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 99 villages (muban). Pho Prathap Chang is a township (thesaban tambon) and covers parts of the tambon Pho Prathap Chang, Phai Tha Pho and Wang Chik. There are a further seven tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
