Historically, the district is located in the former Pressburg county (see also the list of historical counties in Hungary ). There the district was divided between the chair districts of Dunaszerdahely , Pozsony and, to a small extent, in the north of Szenc . After the creation of Czechoslovakia, the area of ​​the district belonged to four different Okresy, namely Modra in the north (municipalities Kaplna , Igram , Blatné and Čataj ), Bratislava-vidiek in the west (municipalities Chorvátsky Grob , Bernolákovo and Ivanka pri Dunaji ), and Šamorín in the south (including from Zálesie and south) and Galanta in the east (including from Veľký Biel and Nová Dedinka and further east).
