The district of Eger in the Kingdom of Bohemia of the Habsburg Monarchy came into being in the 19th century, was inhabited by Germans and was territorially changed several times.

According to the Munich Agreement , the city of Eger formed its own urban district between 1938 and 1945 , but was also the seat of the district of Eger . The town and district of Eger were part of the German Empire along with the Sudetenland .

After the Germans were driven out , the area was populated by the Czechs. In 1960 the Okres Cheb was enlarged through the merger with the Okres Aš and a large part of the Okres Mariánské Lázně .

On January 1, 2007, the town of Teplá was added from the Okres Karlovy Vary .
