Prior to that it was part of Luwero District. The commission of inquiry into the local government system in 1987 recognized that Nakasongola was too far away from the administrative center of Luwero to be administered directly from there. Nakasongola suffered from relative neglect due to the distance from the then district headquarters. This became the basis for the creation of Nakasongola District in 1997.
