In 2022, Mong Yang Township was promoted to its own district, splitting off from former Kengtung District.[2][3][4] Its part under Eastern Shan State Special Region 4 administration is known as Sele District.[5]
The township also contains the Mong Pawk Subtownship. Mong Pawk is part of it but is under United Wa State Army control as part of the de facto Wa State.
