The modern, political districts of the Habsburg Monarchy were created in 1868 when the political and judicial administration was separated.

The Elbogen district was created on December 2, 1913, when the elimination of the Elbogen judicial district from the Falkenau district and its elevation to the political district became officially effective.

The district covered an area of ​​207.62 km² and a population of 41,758 people according to the 1910 census and the territorial status of 1913. Of the residents, 457 stated Czech and 40,385 German as their colloquial language. In addition, 916 foreign speakers or foreigners lived in the district.
