Previously, the administrative structures originating from the Palatinate (Bavaria) (1816–1946) essentially applied in the then administrative district of Palatinate .
On May 23, 2015, the municipality council in Rockenhausen decided to apply for a name change to "Verbandsgemeinde Nordpfalz". The application was rejected by the Interior Ministry in September 2015. The North Palatinate is larger than the administrative area of the community of Rockenhausen, it said in the rejection.
