History
In medieval times the region was ruled by many lords. Brandenburg-Ansbach and Nuremberg owned possessions in this territory, and other parts were property of clerical states. When these clerical states were dissolved in 1803, the district fell to Bavaria.
The district was established in 1972 by merging the former districts of Roth, Schwabach and Hilpoltstein.
