Geography


Primary rivers in the district are the Main and the Wern. The district is located between several hill chains - Haßberge to the east, the Rhön in the northwest, the Spessart to the west and the Steigerwald in the southeast.



History


The area of the district became part of Bavaria in 1814.
In 1972 parts of the previous district Gerolzhofen (including the town Gerolzhofen) were merged with the district.
