The district town of Wittmund is a medium- sized town , Esens is a small town .

The district was created in 1885 from the offices of Wittmund and Esens and the city of Esens. As a result of the district reform carried out in 1977, the district of Wittmund was dissolved and combined with the communities of Jever , Sande , Schortens , Wangerland and Wangerooge of the former district of Friesland to form the new greater district of Friesland. Wittmund became the county seat . Due to various constitutional complaints before the Lower Saxony State Court, the reorganization of the Friesland / Wittmund area was withdrawn on January 1, 1980 and the districts of Ammerland , Friesland and Wittmund were restored in their previous form. The current church structure was completed in 1980. The year in which they joined the municipality is noted for the suburbs of the municipalities.
