The district was established in 2003 as part of the Czech Republic's administrative reforms, bringing together municipalities that previously fell under different jurisdictions. This reorganization aimed to make local administration more efficient and better coordinate regional services.
The district contains numerous medieval structures, including Hrubý Rohozec Castle and Valdštejn Castle, which represent architectural heritage from different periods.
The district office is located in the town of Turnov and serves as the central point for administrative matters in the region. Visitors can apply for documents, obtain permits, and get advice on regulatory questions at this location.
Despite being located in Semily District, Turnov administrative district operates independently, demonstrating an unusual case of non-aligned administrative boundaries in Czech governance.
