The district was formed in 1817 unter the name of Untermainkreis (Lower Main District) and renamed in 1837 as Unterfranken and Aschaffenburg (Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg). In 1933 the regional Nazi Gauleiter Otto Hellmuth insisted on renaming the district Mainfranken, but after 1945 the name Unterfranken was resrurrected.
