Yang (Thai: ยาง) is a tambon (subdistrict) located in the northern region of Nam Yuen district, in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand.[1][2][3] In 2022, Tambon Yang contains 14 villages (Muban; บ้าน or หมู่บ้าน), but only 13 administrative community units (Moo or Mu; หมู่).[1][2] As of the 2021 consensus, it had a population of 7,482 people and 2,889 households.[1] Neighbouring subdistricts are (clockwise from the south) Kao Kham, Khilek, Kaeng, Top Hu, Non Sawan, Yang Yai, and Dom Pradit.[2][3][4]
The village of Yang was founded in 1877 by a group of villagers led by Puean Chaiyanat (พื้น ไชยนาถ) who evacuated from Ban Muang (บ้านม่วง) in Phibun Mangsahan.[2] The village became a subdistrict (tambon) under the control of "Uthai Det Udom" district (or Eastern Det Udom, currently is Yang Yai) in Thailand's former province, Khukhan, in 1907,[2] and it was transferred to "Pachim Det Udom" district (or Western Det Udom, currently is Det Udom) due to the merging of four districts; Eastern Det Udom, Central Det Udom, Western Det Udom, and Dom Pradit, in the province's eastern area in 1912.[5] The newly merged district, Det Udom was later transferred to Ubon Ratchathani province in 1928.[6]
In 1974, Tambon Yang, together with three other tambons, including Song, Dom Pradit, and Ta Kao, were split off from its affiliated district, Det Udom, to create a new province's administrative division, Nam Yuen district;[7] the preparation for such an upgrade began in 1969 with the formation of King amphoe Nam Yuen.[8] However, one of the original tambons, Ta Kao, was eventually split off to form a new independent district in 1996.[9]
Nine villages in the southeast territory of Yang were partitioned in 1979 to form a new tambon, Bu Pueai;[10] a newly established tambon was also further divided in 1988 to create Yang Yai.[11] Yang was divided once more in 1993, when tambon Kao Kham was formed.[12]
Before 1996, Tambon Yang was governed by the Subdistricts Council of Yang, which was later upgraded to the Subdistrict Administrative Organization (SAO).[2]
