The Prussian rural community order for the province of Westphalia from 1841 replaced the cantons introduced during the French era (1806 to 1813) with offices with effect from 1843 . In the area of ​​the later Unna-Kamen office, the offices of Camen and Unna were initially formed, which only existed for a short time and merged in 1844 to form the Unna-Kamen office . On the occasion of the city of Hamm on April 1, 1901, the district became the district of Hamm. After an area expansion in 1929, this was renamed the Unna district in October 1930 .
