It was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on Daventry rural sanitary district. It was expanded in 1935, by a County Review Order, by taking over the parishes of the former Crick Rural District.

In 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, the district was abolished, being merged with Daventry and with most of Brixworth Rural District to form a new district of Daventry.
