The district is predominantly agricultural, with a living standard below the average of Thailand. Main agricultural products are rice, corn and watermelon. A lot of the middle-aged working population is working in the more industrial cities of the Northeast or in Bangkok. The workers in the district are usually working seasonal only.

History

The population of the district is made up of 5 tribes Phu Thai, Saek, Yau, Kalueng and Thai Isan. The Yau form the largest group, who came from Luang Prabang in modern-day Laos in the 16th century. Others immigrated from Ubon Ratchathani Province.

The district was established on August 16 1971 as a minor district (King Amphoe) by splitting off the three tambon Na Wa, Na Ngua and Ban Siao from Si Songkhram district. On March 22 1979 it was elevated to full district status. Additionally to the three original subdistricts three further were created - Nakhun Yai in 1978, Lao Phatthana in 1979, and Tha Ruea in 1987.

The township Na Wa was created in 1963 as a sanitary district (sukhaphiban). Like all sanitary districts it was upgraded to a township (thesaban tambon) in May 1999.

Symbols

The district slogan is Phra That Temple of Unity, beautiful silk cloth, making Thai handicrafts.

The district name Na Wa means fields of Wa trees (Syzygium cumini), which were very common in the area in the past.

Administration

The district Na Wa is subdivided into 6 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 68 villages (muban). Na Wa itself is a subdistrict municipality (thesaban tambon) and covers part of the tambon Na Wa. Each of the 6 tambon is administrated by a Tambon administrative organization (TAO).
